This made me laugh because I also looked like I did a 'cross race yesterday. Wet roads/bikepath and lots of wet leaves. My front brake was sticking during the a.m. commute so I had to adjust it. I didn't realize that my hand was very dirty so I was wiping the sweat off my face on the way to work (it was very balmy and humid). When I got to work, I had black dirt all over my face. I didn't know it was there until I saw the horrified look on the face of one of my co-workers. I looked like an NFL linebacker - black marks under my eyes.

I looked like I'd done a 'cross race when I got to work, my back and legs (and bike!) were covered in mud. There was crud everywhere, even little sticks between my chain rings.
