Title: Riding in the rain!
Post by: Big Dog on June 28, 2014, 09:25:08 AM
So...

This morning, I am supposed to go over to Salina for a benefit ride. The Salina Military Council is sponsoring a poker run for the Wounded Warrior Project. The ride draws 200-300 bikes each year.

My bike is all ready to go, I'm properly caffeinated, and checking the weather. We had a small thunderstorm about 4:00-5:00 AM, but the sun is out and the roads are drying nicely. I checked Accuweather, and found this:

The ride route is inside the orange rectangle. That big blob of yellow and red is coming toward Salina, and is guaran-damn-teed to dump a bucket of rain on us before noon.

I don't know what any of you would do, but I know what this Dog's gonna do.

This Dog's a-ridin'!   :yahoo:

See you all later!

Have a good time for a good cause.

I'll be riding in the rain on a fuzzy horse (as opposed to a steel horse).  No windshield, but my "personal weather diversion device" aka cowboy hat, will help a lot.

The rain let up about a half hour into the ride, and I was mostly dry by the end of the trail.

All in all, a very good day.
