to ride my bike to the office to check out the route. It is sometimes
hard to judge how bike friendly a route is going to be by car, so I
thought Saturday would have less traffic, so it would be a good test.
We don't have a shower at work (like I did in Athens) so I am not 100%
sold on the idea of riding to work.
They were calling for a 30% chance of rain and it looked pretty clear
at the house, so I hopped on the bike and headed towards the office.
About halfway through the ride to the office, I noticed that the wind
was picking up and it was starting to get dark. The closer I got to
the office, the darker it got. Ah, crap. I beat the storm to the
office by about 5 minutes, so I am sitting here typing at my desk in
the office. It is now thundering, lightning, raining and (just to
make it more interesting) hailing. Great, frozen precipitation in the
middle of August. The good news is that It looks like it is going to
pass through as quickly as it blew in... if it doesn't, I guess I'll
just take my company truck home.
I was about to hit send when it started to seriously hail outside.
The sirens haven't gone off, so I guess there isn't a twister near by,
but it is coming down hard... Seriously? If I had known that me
riding my bike would create a storm, I would have done it weeks ago.
The yard really needed some water, I hope it rained (but no hail) at
our house.
Check out the hail coming down outside the front door:
