Yesterday, we decided an afternoon on the road was needed. We did not make our intended circuit, but managed about 220 miles. Ate a great hambuger in Columbus TX. Judging from the food delivered around us, we will return to this grazing spot.
Checked the weather app before leaving and decided to change the route home. Heavy rain was in our path northward.
As we were mounting up, it started to rain. We were parked under a huge oak tree and I was watching the drops hit the street. I asked my wife if she wanted to gear up. Response: Nah... About 45 seconds later..... whoosh! It was pouring. She didn't need any more encouragement.
30 Miles down the road, we had to stop and strip out of the rain gear.
This is Texas. It can go from hot and sticky, to plesant, to wet, back to hot in a matter of hours, or miles. After sitting in the shade, when I pulled her bike into the garage it still registered 100F.
