ok, ok
In Seattle the Cascade bike club is making it really fun for commuters for bike to work month.

I received an email today that if we happened by certain locations between 330 and 6pm today we could win FREE STUFF!

And it was POURING! I had to go a way I am not really familiar, but one of the prizes was an Ortlieb bag which I do need (especially today) so OFF I went into the pouring rain and industrial neighborhood. The spot was "under the Spokane St bridge" well, that's a long bridge! so i rode around disconsolately for 35 minutes under that bridge, dodging giant drips, puddles and feeling like a drowned rat, and finally gave up, crossed to the other side, and !! there they were. the Cascade people. and i was the very first Cascade member to pass them by. So they took my picture and gave me a large men's wool jersey. Hm, how useful! but I was happy to get it. Maybe I will use it as a prize for my bike to work team. Anyway; i'm home. Almost
everything I was wearing is wet. Shoes, socks, (ankles) teeshirt, slacks, rain pants, raincoat.
Dry was my wool sweater!
