Bike to Work Day...in the rain?

[HillSlugger]

I've been signed up for this for months and looking forward to it. Unfortunately, tomorrow's weather prediction is calling for rain and has dampened my enthusiasm. I know I won't melt and my bike it equipped to handle the rain, but I'm a bit concerned with the way people around here drive when it rains.

Will you be riding tomorrow?

We also have rain forcast. I am going to be wearing my crossing-guard-disturbing-shade-of-green vest, and a blinkie. And layers.

I'm leading a bike train, so I can't bail.

Be prepared for the worst, and it won't be so bad.

I have the day off, but I'm still planning to ride over to the Silver Spring pit stop. Of course, if it's really bad, I may just sit on the couch and read the paper...

I also plan to be at the Silver Spring pit stop. My office's bike team is having an "event" at 8:30 - I have to be there at 7:30 to help set up. So, it's going to be an early day for me.
Yeah, Terry's accident and the rain are not making me really motivated to ride tomorrow. I'll be in layers....maybe on DH's bike with the disc brakes. But I don't feel like changing out tires tonight and re-sizing the Ortleibs for a different rack.
Sigh.
Maybe I'll call in sick.....Not....

I kept checking the weather hoping it would change all week but alas. Why couldn't we get today's weather tomorrow? I am planning on riding tomorrow anyway though as I do need to pick up that t-shirt. Yes, I'll be soppy and wet but that's ok. I have disc brakes so I figure my excuses are fairly limited.

My first bike to work day was in the rain, I loved it. But right now I'd trade your rain for the kind of heat we had today. Just 2 miles from the train to home but I stopped at a park, got some water, had an orange.

I've never had to rest on the way home.

My ride to work is a choice and usually twice a week the days with best weather/traffic conditions. I felt badly for those who have to ride each day, it is a scorcher.

If it wasn't BTW day I would have waited till tomorrow. But I had a nice ride.

My ortho took the question out of my hands, told me I'm not allowed on my bike yet. My shoulder is still inflammed and he said not until i get rid of the pain can I ride. Problem overall, but makes the rainy Friday a non-issue. So I choose to work at home tomorrow! Good luck and be careful to all of you who are riding.

I head out for work at around 7 am and it takes me about an hour, so this morning wasn't very hot for me. Glad I wore my trusty Amici Veloci sleeveless jersey, nevertheless.

I'll probably wait until 6:30 or so to head for home tonight. That's what I did last night & it worked out pretty well, there wasn't much wind (yay!) and what little there was was relatively cool going across the bay.

Hey gang, I am riding, even though it will be raining, I will be graduating, I don't have a job to bike to, and I am a bit busy.

Bike to work! show that you care!

You DC girls be careful! With all the rain we've gotten, there's bound to be a lot of deep puddles.

I'm getting over a horrible upper respiratory virus, so I decided to forego riding in the rain and instead, opted to let Coach Troy torture me this morning.
