Wow! An adventure in Paradise this evening!
At 5:00 it was 67 degrees and no rain.
When I left to ride at 5:30 there were a few raindrops.
Decided to ride reguardless, by Cow Canyon Saddle the rain had stopped.
GRR was clear and dry. It did get windy and cooler as I went down the canyon.
At the Maintenance Shed turnaround it started to rain again.
It looked like I might be able to beat the storm back.
I pulled out of the rain about a mile from the turnaround.
There was sunlight for a little while, then fog.
Made it to the top of Reward before the rain caught me.
Rode the last 4 mi in the rain.
Fast spin
