Last Monday I had the bright idea to commute to work, which is pretty standard. It was a beautiful day at 4:55 as I looked out the window just before the end of the day. By 5:05 when I had changed my clothes, the weather had done a 180 and turned into a monsoon. I decided to wait it out, but the radar showed little hope and at 5:45 I decided to go ahead and brave the torrents. I think it was one of the more miserable commutes I've made, mostly because the rain actually hurt.
I got the nerve up to ride again on Thursday, and it was nice enough only to rain in the middle of the day. I did find out exactly how great the Knox county road management was when I came upon this on Asbury Rd.
Yes, my feet were wet for the next 7.5 miles.
