CAUGHT IN BETWEEN!

The weather is so unpredictable nowadays.
Don't be deceived by it. Just yesterday I was out for my usual weekend ride.
The weather was bright and was a bit hot too but that's fine by me
and after approx. 20 mins. it turned grey. Without giving much a damn about it
[the weather] and without warning, [eg: drizzle and etc besides the grey clouds
which is pretty usual the next step will be light drizzle before the heavy stuff
comes dropping] SPLASH!!! I do mean SPLASH!!! I was caught in the middle
of nowhere and with no shelter to be found. I was well wet to my ass and heck
I thought to myself since I am all drenched why stop? Yea right call dude!
Fuh'ing smart call turned out to be a dumb-ass decision.
It was one difficult ride I must say... I could hardly see a damn thing in front
with drops against my face and all i can hear was millions of raindrops,
tremendously loud thunder claps and saw few ass whipping lightnings instead
Not until riding for sometime I stopped and rested under a flyover.
At least I thought I was safe from acid-peels on my face.
[quite freaky too and thank god no lighting caught my ass]
While waiting and not doing anything besides on my bike waiting to sprint
when that time comes, another blow to my face. Or nuts so to speak.
I was caught in this really strong wind and man... I have never,
for the longest time felt so cold 'til my nuts about to drop off.
I waited for an hour half 'til it was reasonable and visible enough for me
to pedal back home for a nice warm shower and a cup of coffee. Ahh...

My conclusion before my next ride is, whatever the weather condition
at that very moment before I pedal off I've to pack my stuffs as if it was
a ride for survival.

Funnily I did somewhat enjoyed it. Haha... Also a good reason to get THIS!
