Wednesday was super rainy. I knew I was risking getting wet, but I've noticed that when rain is in the forecast, I often miss it. Or if I don't miss it, it's usually light when I'm out in it. And then in those cases, I regret not riding. So I rode. And man did it rain hard. But you know what? I didn't mind. I wasn't cold, and I enjoyed myself. I had a rehearsal after class and got there pretty wet, but my hiking pants somehow dried while I stood there, and I was fine.

Yesterday and today were super windy now that the front is gone. I go north and then east on my route to college, and I had an almost exact crosswind yesterday on the northbound portion. Today, the direction was slightly more northerly so it was a stiff headwind, but I rode hard and enjoyed that. I really like being on the river path in almost any weather. Wednesday night coming home, I had the whole place to myself. It had been raining for hours, and no one wanted to be there except for me, and I was happy.
