My fear about rain is lightning. I really really really am afraid of getting struck by lightning, which means many times I've stood on my front porch in terror because I could hear thunder, before I could finally force myself across the yard to the car.

Last week I was at my mom-in-law's and noticed that somebody had forgotten to lock her gate (on a cyclone fence). It was pouring rain and thundering, but the thunder wasn't close so I finally forced myself to stand in the rain by telling myself that it wasn't close and stop being silly and as I worked with the old lock, trying to get it closed --

KAPOW!!!!

Lightning struck almost on top of me -- knocked out the electricity for several blocks, yadda, yadda.

I would love to take a ride in the rain, if there was absolutely no risk of lightning, but that hasn't happened this summer.

Congrats on your ride. It sounds like you're rockin'!
