Rain dance brings wet clothes – Logistics and discussion

[pfunkallstar]

I thought I would throw a logistical question out to the forum’s collective conscious – NO DAVE!

Anyways, how do you deal with wet clothes? I’m not afraid of the rain and tend to indulge in much puddle exploration. However, upon arriving at my office I’m left with a sodden mess that I drape over my bike, hoping and praying that it drys just a bit for the commute home. I’ve contemplated bringing along a second set of gear, but that seems somewhat “Kindergarten wet pants backupy.” Similarly, I’ve worn the full Tyvek suit dealies that make you sweat like a beast, thus defeating the whole “rain protection thing.” So, I’m left with my dank office drying and funny coworker looks.

On days like today though, it doesn’t really matter. It all gets wet again for the ride home.

I’m banking on the 50% chance of precipitation window at 3pm…

I was just out for a walk to get some lunch, and it’s raining steady here in Reston. Looking at the radar, I’m 100% certain of a wet ride home tonight.

I timed my out time based on the radar to try to get the little window of very light drizzle and I succeeded for the first 30 mins. But yeah it in the end it was all a wash…
