This miscalculation meant stopping to put on the poncho. I was riding past a spot where there’s a gap in the trees; and I could see a curtain of rain approaching from the other side of the river.

On top of the rain, the wind was pretty strong; and it’s not easy to get the poncho on when it’s flapping all over the place in the rain! My glasses had water droplets all over the lenses; and it was hard to see.

When I arrived back home, it looked like it hadn’t rained a drop; and I don’t think it has yet. That’s a weird thing about rain. One location gets a downpour; another spot two miles away stays dry.
