Bikes and Rain

Today was the first day I rode my bike to work since the weekend ride.  It was a beautiful ride in - just wished it was the same coming home.  At around 1700 we started to noticed very dark clouds coming toward the office.  I quickly changed and started riding as fast as I could.  I only made it half way when it really started to pour.  It was like a monsoon with thunder and lighting.  I sit at the edge of some one's lawn under a group of pine trees until the lighting started to get closer.  I noticed that a shed with an open porch on it.  I sit under it and decided after waiting 20 minutes that the rain wasn't going to let up.  I called my wife who was working and she said that she was on the way.  Meanwhile the rain let and I wanted to finish my ride; however, my wife had already left.  She would have been pissed if she had drove out to get me and I wasn't there so I waited.  I loaded up the bike wimped out and  road home in the car.
