The ride yesterday ended up being wet.
We got to AMW and things were fine. Alan Sales called and said he was not going to make it.
Alan said it was raining at his house.
So the rest of us saddled up and started for Warm Springs. As we approached Marietta there was a rainbow up ahead.
Well, you know what a rainbow means… Rain.
Sure enough we kept on riding and it started. We pulled into a shopping center and got on the rain suits.
Then back on the road. Malon and Georges neither one had a rain suit. But they saddled up and went on down the road with us.
The sky darkened, the rain picked up and Georges decided to head home. He lives out around Marietta.
The rest of us traveled on. Then it looked like it was going to break loose. We turned into a Bank of America drive thru and hung out while it rained.
We were supposed to meet Rick and Barbara Campbell at 278 & 61. I called Rick and he was there waiting on us. I told him to sit tight and we would be on the road after the current storm blew by.
I checked the radar on the cell phone and it showed a single band of rain.
Trouble was it wasn’t going any where. Just hanging out with us.
Someone suggested breakfast. There was an IHOP in Hiram. The Rick Cothran suggested the O’Charley's just two doors down from the IHOP.
The IHOP was packed out. We arrived at 10:10. O’Charley's opened for brunch at 10:30. So here we were hanging out in the mist. Finally they realized we were there and opened the door and let us into the waiting area. Around 10:30 we got seated.
The lunch was good and afterward it was still raining and wet. Everyone headed for the home.
It rained all the way home.
