So True! I'm in Wilmington part time for another few weeks finishing up work and selling the house, and things have definately been soggy here - 13+ inches of rain in less than a week I've managed to get in a couple of night rides (or dark 30 AM rides). I *finally* treated myself to a good headlight and what a difference! My DH has the same one and I kept thinking I had a car behind me - it's that bright!

Of course, I also had my first flat on Blueberry (my blue cannondale) this AM. Seems I ran over a piece of glass. Of course, I flatted just as I was rolling into my neighborhood - 1/10 of a mile from my house. Floor pump here I come (I have a road morph, but prefer my nice floor pump given the choice). Don't jinx yourself! Plus with all of the water on the roads, the bikes now have a nice grime coating. Cleaning time!

I've been trying to get more comfortable with night riding as we're doing a "full moon" ride on the Virginia Creeper trail this weekend. Should be fun!
