Got into the 90's but by the time I left there were hailstorms all over the radar. I counted on them breaking up and rode my slightly longer way home anyway. It worked, tho' for about a mile I was chastising myself, as the wind started blasting and there was a streak of lightning. Then it abated.
Not one, but *two* cars waited patiently while I went over overpasses, not going by 'til there was ample room. (Red SUV wasn't as nice on the regular road.)
Crossed the 4000 yearly mile threshold :-) :-)
wow 4000 miles Congratulations! When do you have time to sleep? ?
AND glad you didn't become a lightning magnet
Did the club ride tonight, once again a variety of riders from the speedy speedsters, to the speedsters, to the wanna be speedsters, to the tourists
I fell into the wanna be speedster bracket, hung with the speedsters for about a whole 5 miles, hit a few hills and they were gone.
Head wind of about 24 mph for the first 10 miles, Makes you strong
Made it up my measuring stick hill faster than I have ever done ( a little adreneline surging through, I didn't want a couple of friends to catch me - they eventually did about 5 miles down the road
Rest of the ride was great and of course the wind died down to 9 mph by the time the visiting was done
That is what I love about this club. No matter what level a rider is everyone has a great time in the parking lot before and after and the experienced riders help the newbies. Very accepting group
It's about the journey and being in the moment, not about the destination
