Saturday ride report

Tracy joined Joe and I at 8:00 for our Saturday ride. It was overcast and lightly raining so a command decision was quickly reached to forego Calvin's and just ride to Catawba. We took the north route to Hurst-Pisgah-SR56. It was a constant rain such that we had to remove glasses and squint against the pelting rain drops, and the spray from Tracy's wheel, to see where we were going. We were having one of those freaky wind days that make it seem that which ever direction we went, we were riding into a head wind. I was thoroughly soaked by the time we got to Catawba, but the breakfast was hot and delicious. Bob told us he is getting his tomato plants out, so we can look forward to that most excellent of summer treats, pancakes and tomatoes. But even with the soaking, it was a great ride, and I'm glad I went. Now, I have to go stuff newspapers into my shoes.
