A wet and wild ride!

So I decide to finally take my new bike out for a spin, even though I've been feeling sick for a week. I put on my helmet and headed out the door. It was a pretty good ride, and I practiced with the gears, turning, stopping, etc. When I got out past Chandler Crossings, it started to sprinkle, which felt good because it was so warm and muggy. Then it started to rain harder. And then it started to pour. And thunder. And lighting. So I rode home in the pouring rain, getting my new bike soaked and covered in muddy water (which I would much prefer over trying to keep an expensive bike all neat and clean!).

I'm looking forward to my first outdoor triathlon on Sunday, but why does everything have to start so EARLY!? The beginners' meeting is at 7am, ugh.
