Tuesday August 16th "Oh No,Don't Let The Rain Come Down"

The sun was shining when we left St.Peter's and rode the new smooth shoulder on Taunton Blvd..Another good turn out consisting of ChrisT,Cindy,Kathy,and Olga,the guys were DaveB,DaveN,JohnK,a new JohnD( not our JohnnyD)and myself making nine riders.It was smooth sailing to Conte's with some breakaways and a nice steady pace maintained by the rest under a clear sky and great temperature conditions. At Conte's we saw dark clouds forming to the north,we knew there would be rain on our return.Chatter ,laughs,and donuts at Conte's before our shower,it dumped on us on McKinnemanRd. then cleared.Though soaked to the bone our spirits were still high.The riders were out to enjoy the day and a hellacious rain was no problem for them.On the serious side everyone handled a dangerous situation extremely well.I computed 32.57 miles in 3 hours and 9 minutes.Once again I had coffee and donut at Conte's sat at the north end of the table and was left alone by the flies,I think I've solved my fly problem at Conte's.Next problem is JohnK sneaking pics before and after the rides,believe me folks his camera puts 50lbs. on me,the donuts have nothing to do with it.It was a very good group and except for the downpour a good ride also.
