Title: so i rode to work today.....
Post by: porsche4786 on April 05, 2006, 02:52:37 PM
ok so I'm at work right now. It was very nice and sunny yesterday, so I decide to ride to work today because it was supposed to be about the same. It was pretty nice all day until now. It is about 3 and now it just started pouring down rain and hailing! :mad: Damnit! So hopefully in the next hour and a half it kinda drys up. What awsome weather people we have!!!

EDIT: Ok, now 5 minutes later and it stopped raining! But the ground is soaked. Weather is dumb.....

LOL- ya that happens.  Best advice wait until the storm is over or until it has calmed down a bit.  You can ride in the rain just slow down and be extra careful!!!!   :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

I've ridden in hail before. I got nailed in the hand by a pretty big chunk and it bruised my finger pretty badly. I got 4 blocks before I had to pull over. Thankfully the random driveway I pulled into had nice people that let me park my bike in their garage. How awesome is that??

Porche - did you bring your raingear?  Did you check Yahoo weather?

I check 2 local weather stations and weather.com. They all showed sun. Anyway the gear I have right now it all weatherproof stuff so it didn't really matter. By the time I was off it had dried up.  So I made it home just fine.
