Isolated T-Storms

Jaysin · 07-13-2008

I learned that a 10% chance of rain with isolated t-storms means there will be a storm cloud following me and only me as soon as i get out onto the road, and for the duration of my ride I will be half blind, threatened by tidal waves, and pelted with hail and rain.

i always think "it says there is a small chance of rain...if i take my car there wont be a single drop. if i take the bike itll pour on me..." murphys law or whatever! i hate it but what can ya do?

just be careful out there man

Yep, finally bought my rain gear on Friday. Started raining about 1/2 way to work this morning, so I pulled under a street light and put my gear on. It didn't rain another drop the whole way to work.

Of course, it has been pouring ever since I got here, so my bike is getting quite a bath now, but they say it will stop by lunch time.

We have a 30% chance today, but when I went outside this morning, it was still and completely clear, so....I took the bike to work. It's sure to flood now. But this is a great way to make sure it rains..so I don't have to water the grass.

i hate watering...so maybe i should start taking the bike when theres a chance of rain.

we had "isolated storms" all last week. which sucked cause the days when it was bright and sunny until about 8 pm, which meant i could have rode the bike to class and work, then get home and have enough time to cover it b4 the rain.

but today was all sun, and i was all bike... loved it... put 80 miles on her today.
