It rained off and on all day and I remember finishing (about 9:30 PM) in what was by then a light mist. After the ride the name was changed (for that year only) to Butter-Flood.
I've ridden a lot of doubles, but the ones where we had to deal with a lot of rain (or other natural challenges) are the most memorable!
