When you can't get wetter
By LeslieWilber in For your information

Squish.

That was me, putting on my helmet this morning. We went for a ride yesterday and got stuck in the downpour. We tried to wait out the rain under a downtown awning. After 30 minutes or so, we got antsy watching gutters burp up streams of water. So we headed home.

There is, naturally, a point at which you can't get wetter. And at that point, riding in the rain would have been almost fun -- save a couple of factors. The water splashing up from the streets is gross. Seriously. And the water getting filtered through the sweaty foam inside my helmet is even grosser. And it stings the eyes. And gets in your mouth.

And now I want a new helmet.

    That's OK. Your blog mix-up probably came because your thoughts were impaired by the foamy water that's now running through your system ... eew. But kudos to you - I don't think I would have been brave enough to ride around in the downpour.

    And I posted this to the wrong blog.
    Smart, Leslie.
