Dear El Nino

After two days of commuting in cold very windy rain your beginning is noted.
I’ve got a feeling your going to give me some interesting rides this winter. Looking forward to the adventures! After my ride home yesterday though I was thinking I’m going to need lots of chocolate for the hot chocolates that will be needed to get through this. I’ll send you the receipts for reimbursement.

Indeed. I saw video of flooded highways in southern California on the news. I hope they're getting the word out to not try to drive on flooded roads -- all sorts of bad things can happen.

Perhaps TE still has some good rain gear in stock? You can probably get a good deal if they haven't moved to the new warehouse yet.

Some areas of southern ca are going to have problems with a lot of rain over a few days like what happens during an el nino winter, especially those areas that also had fire damage last summer. The areas I live/travel in/work/ride in have a good infrastructure to deal with it though. I have some good rain gear and kinda welcome the different riding these next few months might bring…..and the center of a good storm can have a couple days of great riding!!!!

I’m sure the rei's here are doing well in selling rain gear this year ….and we need to think a little more about the bike room at work
