Stiff, Sore, and oh joy here comes a huge storm!

After a day of riding in the Florida's Sun the last thing you want to encounter is the day being ended on a bad note, well this happened to me the other day. I was out enjoying a full days ride with some friends and then we all had to go back to our residences for dinner and such, so we all headed home, now keep in mind it was a blast riding with the old gang again, but when your riding home into a huge storm and all you can see in front of you is black as night sky's and it's only 5:00pm, you know you really should find a place to tuck in and ride the storm out instead of trying to do what I did, which is just this, I rode it out baby!
That's right!, I rode into one of the areas worst storms of the season thus far, and lived to tell about it, now don't get me wrong this may seem like some major feet, but really I only had to pull over once, because of not being able to see what was in front of me.
This was ten minutes down the street from my house, so as soon as it let up just the littlest of bits I took off running full out and got to the house.
Now you know if you've ever ridden, that riding in the rain is a lot like skating on thin ice, you have to do it very carefully and very  discreetly. Some people driving those darn cages, don't like to pay attention to anything while they are out driving them, so you have to watch out for them and watch out for the now hazardous road conditions. Me, I just got so close to the house, I became obsessed with making it home dry, that was a major "FAIL" as right before the light in front of my house, which I could see in the distance between getting pounded by torrential rains, I had to pull  over because the "SUN BLOCK" I applied earlier that day started to run down into my eyes and it was burning like crazy, so once I got that cleared up outta my eyes I got back on the road, but it was funny, so funny in fact that I was laughing totally out loud, all the while pouring deluge's of rain were pouring on my head, it felt as if the flesh was being stripped from my bones that's how hard it was raining, and "NO" before you ask I wasn't carrying any rain gear, I could of slipped into right quick, that's just how priceless my day was going at that moment.
So remember this one tip, never race mother nature as she always wins!
Stay Safe out there and Make it a Great Day!
