Frequent Downpours

On Friday, I biked up to Burnsville to meet Jean after work, and our plan was to drive North to visit Aunt Alline in Moorhead.    We got a heavy rain storm at 10AM, so I ate an early lunch and biked out in the dry skies an hour later.

NOT!

After 1 mile, the sky opened with HUGH rain drops and I got my first downpour.    This continued on/off each 5 minutes until I got to Fleet Farm...  the sky was black, and it looked like I will be drenched.   Yep!  Imagine the biggest rains of your life;   I had 4 miles left.  The rain was warm, and I knew I had dry clothes to change into, and my wallet and cell phone were wrapped in water-tight ziplock bags.  No photos of course, but I will keep this memorable ride in my thoughts and stories!      Pat
