Drowned road rats
May 11th, 2008 08:50 pmBrian & I made our way home from the OBX today. Everything was going just fine until about 2 pm when it started to rain just after we had gotten back on the road after lunch. At first it was just a light rain & as long as we kept moving neither us got too wet. Then we hit a jam up on 95 & the skies opened up a bit more. Moving off the big road kept us moving, but would also make our journey longer.
After a few stops along the way to put on more clothes, hiding under the cover of a bank drive-thru & the front porch of a thrift shop, we decided to take the back way home from Caroline county. Caroline is where one of the CFC stores lives & is also the birth place of Secretariat.
Although it looked like the rain was letting up a bit, this was just a ruse & soon the sky was was gushing us on. I rode in front, hoping to recall the back way home from the Caroline store. Although I missed a road somewhere, I got us to a place that we both knew. Brian took over the lead since I had close to zero visibility.
It was somewhere around 5:30-ish when we pulled into our driveway; two very wet & cold bikers home from vacation.
