Rain and the Alleged Ride

Saturday, 22 July.
We elected NOT to do our weekly ride today. Rainclouds kept dumping on us. Playing with us. It would rain, let up, rain harder, get sunny while drizzling, stop raining, pour, rinse, repeat. Such unreliable weather: you call THAT a *pattern*??. Before things could get seriously flaky (it wasn't actually *that* cold) we called it a day.

This was the view out of our car window at Big Creek Parkway off Snow Road in Parma. After a bunch of false starts and even a lengthy stay at Panera with Mel. Aside from yummy warm tea and the good company of Mel, I'd say this photo was the best thing about the Alleged Ride.
