A Ride in the Rain

On a bright sunny Saturday morning, three morons headed out for a 16 mile bike ride. Unfortunately, it didn't stay sunny. At the furthest point in the ride (Ray's Valley Road), a big black cloud appeared on the horizon. Ten minutes later, there was thunder and lightning. Ten minutes after that, we got hit - first by wind, then by hail ... and then it really got nasty! The temperature dropped from 90 to 60 very quickly. As we reached the "3rd Water Trail" turnoff, we dropped our bikes and ducked under a "tree" (actually, a very unpleasant bush, in a cow pasture). We were surrounded by fresh cow pies ... apparently the storm scared the poop out of those cows!!
