"Riders on the Storm"--(although if might give some of us flashbacks)

I actually managed to ride yesterday, with 30 mph headwinds coming back (thank goodness for drafting), spitting rain and cold. One local LBS owner riding with us was a fount of information, telling us that this is the most we have had up north here since 1878. I heard southern Humboldt had something like 89 inches of rain.
