About halfway home yesterday, it started to rain. Shortly thereafter, the wind started gusting something fierce. I'd guess 35 mph. Each time a big gust came up, the rain turned to tiny balls of hail, charging out of the sky nearly parallel to the ground. Those little boys stung a bit on bare skin! This went on for about 15 minutes: no gust and just rain, then a big gust and tiny hail. Of course it stopped not 2 minutes after I got home. The outside thermometer at the house read 60 degrees.

I love odd-ball weather like this, and Colorado often delivers. Fairly bright sky, 60 degrees, and hail! Seriously though, that was a fun ride! And it got me to clean my bike, which I hadn't done this past weekend as usual.
