My ride started out nice this morning, but there were big ugly clouds out over the Gulf. The wind was barely blowing so I thought I had plenty of time before they rolled inland. So I rode down to Inverness and at about 17 miles turned around, that's when I noticed the big, very black clouds and a beautiful rainbow! It also dawned on me that a rainbow usually comes with rain.

Once I got to Hernando, the sky opened up on me. Luckily there was one of those covered picnic benches so I was able to get out of the rain for a little bit while it blew over. Once it slowed down I headed for home and got completely soaked from the water coming off the tires. As I got closer to home the sun came out again and it got blazing hot as it was now after 10am.

I made it home just before some really nasty weather came through, heavy rain, high winds and lightning. I now have a major job of cleaning my bike up so I can ride again tomorrow. Not a terrible day though, as I made it 35.6 miles which gave me 161 for the week, my biggest week evah!
