Nice writeup, melissam!
The good news was that it only rained during half the ride. The bad news was that it rained during the descent.It's a blessing there weren't any horribly steep sections. Since it didn't feel very dangerous, it was actually pretty darn hilarious. Descending in the rain - not a bad skill to acquire. Brake early and often.
Sorry I couldn't warn you about the turkeys in time. What's the proper call for turkeys up ahead? "Turkeys up"? Hmm. Not sure. Gotta work on that.

I think the better question is: how come you saw the turkeys and I didn't? Kind of an enigma...
