Seriously though, it rained so much for San Diego...it was pretty cool. The best part was though that I had the awesome 960 Express bus to grab to get up to work and back. I walk about 12-13 mins to catch it, which is pretty nice, usually. On Thursday morning, at 6:35 when I leave for work, it was coming down buckets. So....I walked next to some buildings to help with the blowing rain. Didn't help much..
Funny though...it was STILL ok being car-free. Really. I got a ride home from work on Monday from a co-worker. I started to sort of panic about walking to the bus in the rain, and the walk from the busstop to home again. Then after I got home I thought, "this is silly....it's just rain." So, I took the bus the rest of the week.
View from bus stop at about sunset, in a lull between rain bursts.
My rule for riding in this is: If the roads are wet....I'm bussing it. I don't have the confidence to ride while it's real wet. And, it's just a risk I'm not willing to take. There are enough hazards, mostly crazy car drivers, that to worry about a slick road isn't for me.
Having said that...I'm very excited that it is crystal clear blue sky this morning, and tomorrow looks good for a bike commute!
