A wet Bike to Work Day  It wasn't raining when I got up at 4:30. I turned on the Weather Channel and saw that Reston was in the middle of two large patches of clouds and rain. The forecast had predicted rain all day today. By the time we had set up the tables and were ready for the cyclists at the Reston Bike to Work Day event, it was misting. The rain continued to get heavier as the morning progressed. It was encouraging to see so many cyclists who rode despite the conditions. We probably had about 1/3 of the number who registered actually show up, but even that was an impressive number given the rain. We even had some kids who stopped by with their parents on their ride to school. All things considered, it was a great success.
