Slept in a little this AM and it was a good thing. Riding in the rain all day takes a little more awareness. Up until today the possibility and probability of rain has been something we had to deal with – today it was the ACTUAL rain that we had to deal with. No back roads here, just a run up Interstate 5 to our first corner then back. I think it might have not rained on us for 20 minutes total. But we knew it was coming and were prepared as you can be for such events; cold and wet, just put up with it and get the miles behind you. We did have a very nice start to the morning having breakfast with my sister Sharon and her wife Sheri. Took us a while longer than anticipated to get there due to a bad address I picked up off the interweb the night before and my GPS revealing its sense of humor. It was all fine in the end though – good breakfast with family and corner #1 DONE. A productive day in spite of the adverse weather.
