May I join the commute thread?

I got soaked on the way in. Had to wring water out of my shirt and shorts, and was very glad that I packed a full change of clothes today. However, it was not quite wet enough that I needed to wring water out of my braid (I have tailbone length hair).

It doesn't rain so much here. Riding in the rain feels like such a treat! A lovely respite from our usual hot weather.

On the downside, I need to do a little pannier maintenance. Some of my stuff was a bit damp
