I would have ran into this...
....and ended up like these guys
....or this guy,
and my bike would have looked like that.Yesterday, I went for a ride on my road bike. I started at Pigeon Hollow and rode on the brand new road they just built to Spring City(with stimulous money, it's nice though). The weather was fairly decent and I could see a big old black cloud over above Mt. Nebo and Fountain Green northwest from me. I rode through Mt. Pleasant, I could see the storm moving towards me. After I got out of town going towards Fairview on the backroad, the wind started blowing really bad and I couldn't balance myself on the bike very good. I kept putting more weight on the left side of the bike to keep me on. As soon as I got to a hill on the left side, it got calmer because of the hill. It did sprinkle a little bit until the Skyline Golf Course. After passing that, everything was calm was barely sunny just in the spot I was in. Looking back behind me towards Mt. Pleasant, I could see everything was all black and stormy. When I have got to Fairview, I turned around and I could see the storm moving more southeast towards the mountains. So I rode and rode. I got to Mt. Pleasant, everything was drenched. As I rode on the wet road, I was thinking, "man, it stormed here and I was here just 30 minutes ago?" So I got so lucky that I missed the horrible, brutal storm and I would have been drenched and cold. It was wet all the way past Spring City and to Pigeon Hollow. After I got home with a change of clothes on then preparing dinner, I could see outside of the window that wind was blowing like 70 miles per hour and started raining again, like heck. Man, talk about pure luck. One of my lucky rides I call it.

Hmm, we didn't see beck or mom or the olive garden. I did go riding though, nice weather up here and an enjoyable ride..didn't even get shot;) Haha! I guess it's deer hunt, saw some hunters.:)
..it was a little wet, but nice.
This is me, the real Daniel. Mom and Beck were in Provo, not Clinton. Glad you had fun riding Tony. Lucky you weren't shot, I guess we both had lucky days!
Haha:), yea but prolly more chance of getting hit by lightning than a stray bullet from a hunter. Glad you didn't get wet..I got wet, but mostly from the water on the trail.
Sweet.
Stay Lucky! Regards From England.
Best Wishes

Biking season is almost over- I bet you want to get in all the rides you can. Just be careful!
Thanks Laura, I am trying to enjoy it as much as I can. It's nice this week though. Hey, we haven't gone on a road ride together yet! We got to go sometime and get mike's butt on his bike seat and let's go!
