No work commute today, as I took the day off for my birthday.

After a relaxing morning, I decided to drive 100 miles north to explore a town I'd only gotten a glimpse of 20 years ago at a previous job. I threw the Forte in the back of the car and headed up.

The weather didn't cooperate much. It was as windy as could be and it rained off and on. I cut my ride short, because it looked like it would rain steadily for hours. But the wind was blowing so hard, the storm blew over in about 20 minutes. It was sunny and nice by the time I got back to the car.

Here's my favorite pic from the day:

I rode through the tail end of that storm when it passed over town. (from the left)
