 I am in Seattle and seemed to have brought the dry Oregon weather with me. Even though there was a 70% chance of rain this morning, the roads were dry. My friend and I finally got out mid afternoon for a ride to Greg's Cycle and Performance Bicycle in search for a new bike computer, brake pads, and bar tape.  We struck out on all counts, everything is back ordered and should be here in about 10 days. :-(

On the way back we noted that the air was cooling and clouds were getting darker.  Despite the signs of impending rain we stopped for a bit to eat since we were both hungry.  Sure enough, while sitting by the windows eating a late lunch/early dinner, it started raining pretty hard.  Neither of us had rain gear along, and I was on the fenderless carbon bike.  We ordered another drink and hoped to wait it out.   Finally at 5PM we had a break.  We went for it.

The roads were wet, but we were climbing Queen Anne, so the speeds were low, no fear of a rooster tail from the rear tire.  We arrived at the top of the hill without getting rained on.  Not too bad.

Could have easily ridden some miles today, but alas.
