Ride Description:

Most of the week there was a forecast for storms to move in on Saturday. I jumped on the trainer Friday evening because I thought I would have to do the trainer on Saturday instead of a long ride. Saturday morning the sun was out with storms coming in later so I grabbed my gear and headed south because it had a longer span of time before the storms.

Rolling toward the 20 mile marker the skies were turning darker so I turned and headed back. At the lot a guy asked me about my ride. I told him that I wished I had completed at least 40 miles because it was still looking sunny where we were standing. The moment I pulled out of the parking area the skies opened up with a very heavy downpour. 

So happy to squeeze in this outdoor ride than to sit on the trainer again.
