Me...Meeting friends at the narrows saloon. Not prepared at all and got poured on. Wearing just a t-shirt, a half helmet, prescription glasses, jeans and gloves.
Can't wait for the prescription goggles to arrive!
Anybody else?

Wish I had that foresight!
Last year about this time I was at a Medina bike meet with about 4 of us. I usually check radar before I head out but the skies were sunny and was only going 40 min. away for a few hours. After about 2 hours at the meet, the band singer announced a storm moving in. I looked out west where I live and the sky was black. I got ready to go and realized this was coming fast and I was heading right into it. About 5 miles into the home journey the winds picked up about 60-70mph at least. I was on back county roads with no where to stop. The smaller trees were bending to the ground and I was holding on for dear life. After about 10 miles of that the rain started pouring hard. My face hurt like I was getting a tattoo on it. I finally made it home safe and my family was waiting in the garage watching the storm hoping I was ok. They laughed at how wet I was just in jeans, t-shirt & sunglasses.
I checked the website to make sure everyone else made it home and they all posted they were ok.

I just missed the rain. I was out running some errands on the bike with the wife on back and started feeling raindrops as soon as we pulled into the development. It rained really hard for about 5 or 10 minutes and that was it.

My girl and I caught in the assendofit on the way home. To make things worse...the Rosemount*******s had the sprinkler system on and half of the heads spraying across the west bound lanes of 42!
