I was going to ride to work today, until I saw the radar this morning. It turned out the rain went around us, we didn't get a drop, so I'll be riding back from lunch.

And I didn't know it was today either.

I rode, saw that it was ride to work day on Facebook. No idea if it's even real or where it comes from lol. That said, I saw a few bikes but no more than normal. If anything a little less. A lot less than over the weekend.

I didn't know but I watched the news this morning and there was a line of very heavy storms coming at us so I decided to take the trucks. Glad I did because halfway to work the bottom fell out with wind gusts to 50+ mph and pea size hail.

I'm working from home today.

My wife would've been extremely unhappy to hear my Road Glide roaring down the hallway of our house...

I didn't know it was ride your bike to work day either. It doesn't make any difference anyways since my bike is at the dealer for warranty work and it rained half the day as well.
