This weekend I went on my first ever "long distance" motorcycle ride. It was a lot of fun and a great experience. We left Friday after work and arrived at our destination at about 9:00pm. Thankfully it didn't rain and there were some awesome views riding along the river for most of the way. We spent the night with friends dancing and having a great time.
The next day we headed out at around 2:00pm, again hoping that we wouldn't run into rain. We weren't so lucky the second time around. We could see the clouds from a distance, and let me tell you...it looked UGLY! After a while of riding we stopped for gas and it was still sunny outside so I was hoping that some how we miraculously missed the storm. I was hopeful at this point. We started back on our journey towards home, and about ten minutes into riding it started to sprinkle. Then it started to poor. Big rain drops. HUGE rain drops. Then.......hail! It came on so fast, I blinked my eyes ONCE and a river appeared right smack dab in the middle of the highway. We were cracking up the whole time because it was so ridiculous. We had to slow down to about 10 miles per hour and ride on the side of the highway, hoping that it would stop (a little bit of me wanted it to continue because it was so fun!) Every time a car would pass, we would get soaked!! Probably the best part of the trip! It only lasted for about 10 minutes.
The storm was like a switch. On and off. Once we got out from underneath that cloud, it was the most beautiful sunny day. You never would have guessed that we had just went through a horrendous rain/hail storm! The great thing about riding a motorcycle and being soaking wet at the same time?? In about ten minutes you are completely dry! It's great!! :)
