Trust me, there was no where to take cover, no ditches, no underpasses, no buildings, nothing. All I could do was get out of the storm as quickly as possible. Never peddled so fast in my life.

Since my cell phone got fried, I have a new one and it's now in a zip lock baggy when I ride. The day I got caught in the rain, my phone was in a dry compartment -- I think the dampness from the rain, along with the humidity fried it. The phone was completely dry when I took it out of the compartment.

I want to hit the trails this morning, but t-storms are abound. I'm furbaby sitting my son's dog while he's on vacation and she's totally freaked out by the thunder boomers. My two dogs are sleeping through it.

I have a 3 day ride coming up this coming Friday and I really want to be out on bike. I know we need the rain and I don't want it to rain during the 3 day ride, so I guess the t-storms needs to get out the system before Friday.
