I'm a memeber of the Montlake Mallards Ride in the Rain team. The Ride in the Rain Challenge is mentioned this week in the Seattle PI.
Doesn't get any better than this. No photographic record exists of it but I spent much of the day lying on the kitchen floor in various postures. The end results were well worth it:
We had a rolypoly dishwasher you hooked up to the sink. It sounded like a cement truck. I was looking for an excuse to get rid of it. Catching on fire is a good excuse. It costs $16.50 to drop a dishwasher in the metal pile at the dump. I had to remove the pull-out shelves that I so painstakingly installed several years ago, but it is for a good cause. The huge brown pegboard that held pots and pans is also departed; no tears were shed over its passage.
