Adventures in Bike Riding

Dave and I were in the house all day today because it was uncomfortably hot and muggy outside. We were waiting until about 4:00 for it to cool off so we could go for a bike ride.  Right about then it started raining  accompanied by some impressive thunder and lightening. It stormed for a while and then started to stop.  It was still lightly raining when we started off for the grocery store in Sandgate - about 1 1/2 miles away.
As we rode along the bay it started raining harder and there was still some thunder and lightening although it was further away. By the time we got to the store we were looking pretty bedraggled. We bought a few things and started for home. By this time it was dark and raining hard again. We loaded the groceries in our backpacks, put on our helmets, turned the bike lights on and headed for home.  I thought we wouldn't be able to see the road, but the steady lightening kept it pretty well lit. I tried not to flinch every time it thundered.  It didn't take long until we were back to home base.
