6/17/07 - Comment from Rider - John

John – I have a couple of interesting stories about riding in the rain today. Pete and I were standing on the side of the rode and it was starting to sprinkle. We thought we’d get a little rain and it would be nice. I said something about grabbing my windbreaker and he said let me go grab it for you. Jeff comes up the road and I said no it would be fine. As Jeff comes up there was a clap of thunder. I looked at Pete and said, “Looks like there’s a storm coming” and he said, “Yep”. Within 30 seconds I got dumped on and then within 30 more seconds I was soaked from head to toe. I go out and ride for 10 miles. We put Chelsea on the road. The storm lets up but it’s still sprinkling and cold outside. She gets soaked. Then it’s time to put Pete on the road but he’s not ready so Jeff goes out into the rain and rides. Then right as it’s Pete’s turn and he goes out, the sun comes up and the rain stops. I said to Pete, “Hey, Pete, the weather looks pretty nice.” Pete says, “Yep. .I think I’ll go for a bike ride.”
