Skip--very cool photo.
By 7:30 the rain was gone and there were even a few peeks from the sun. It was pretty empty out there, even so.
I missed the deluge all together. but it was nice out after the rain ended and all washed off and a bit cooler with some clouds still hanging around.
Love it when it rains. Keeps the fairweathers off the lake path.
It was raining somewhat heavy for a few minutes just before I left. In the past I have let this deter me from riding or make me put on rain gear. then I remembered all the times it just stops the second I hit the street. It reduced to barely a drizzle when I got outside. I think from now on I'm avoiding rain gear all together unless its below 55-60. Id rather be wet than over heated, and just bring a change of socks for the ride home.
That's my approach, as well. It's a bit chilly from 60-65 with rain, but all the bother of the rain gear doesn't seem worth it, in that range or above.

I was trying to beat it, but got caught in the heavy stuff for a little while. I just tell myself "I am not going to melt" and keep going. It actually stopped after a few minutes and I was almost dry by the time I got to work!
Yes, I've been riding. So batsh**t crazy at work I cannot even post these days!
Good news is that the rides really relax me and put me in a good place.
News says we're in a Summer polar vortex so I guess that means we'll be seeing a cold Summer?
