Once on highway 99 coming into Oregon City in a horrendous downpour, a truck was passing, spraying with that super sweet truck mist and I was blinded, nailed a pothole with all my weight on the bike. Flatted both tires, put a big ol' dent in the rear rim. I was about 15 miles from home but got things patched up and k-thunk, k-thunk, k-thunked it all the way home.
