Patrick, my commuting colleagues and I have a variation of your race that we do fairly often. On stormy days we watch the storms coming in on weather radar and time our departure for home based on the storm arrival. We almost always procrastinate just a bit too long and end up with a sprint to home. Earlier this summer I was racing a storm line that was getting darker and noisier by the minute - I ended up with lots of wind and some too close lightening - it was a wonderful ride! Bob
