Last hour in the rain/hail, windy, got lost, and at night.

Before anyone uses the word "princess", you better have ridden in worse conditions, today!

EDIT: Road ride too, so I have to worry about laying it down on the pavement or getting slammed by an suv.

Princess,

My commute in today consisted of a massive cloudburst that flooded the streets followed by 10 minutes of hail.

So I was soaked when I hit my office.

...and I left my pants at home so I sat in my shorts with a clammy chamois while I did what needed to be done.

No you didn't.

...in MY day we rode 650 miles to school through minefields buried in 10 feet of snow, covered by gunfire from German pillboxes, under miles of barbed wire, up hill BOTH ways...

ahhh those were the days....
