Someone is trying to tell me something...

Went on a ride with the Greater Eugene Area RiderS. Got rained on a little for the first 15 miles, then it cleared up. Had a tasty reuben at the 30 mile mark. Coming back into Eugene, with about 6 miles to go til home, I'm going down Bailey Hill (a 30 mph kind of downhill) and it starts hailing.

Sideways.

After a bit it stops (oh my but that hail hurts when you are wearing bike shorts instead of tights and have no glasses on) and turns into rain. Then, about 10 minutes later: all hail hail! It was so bad that, instead of going the last mile to my house in the stinging ice from the sky, I stopped at flamingweasel and joyquality's pad and dripped onto their nice carpeted floor until the hail stopped. Then, I said "hello" and "still alive" to goteam at Sundance and came home and took a shower. 54.75 miles today, much of it in the wet and rain and ice. Not too shabby.

Great Ride

Sometimes the best (i.e., most memorable) rides are the ones that seem kind of sucky at the time. This one of yours seems epic! Make sure you wipe down the bike and lube the chain!
Love,
Dad
