According to yesterday’s weather forecast, today was to bring mid-morning thunderstorms and winds gusting to 40 mph. Therefore we left St. Cloud at 6 a.m. and headed south. About 10 miles into our ride we were hit with about 30 minutes of rain. After that the weather got strange. We had periods where the sky was as dark as night and then periods when it seemed as bright as the sun at the beach. Also, the winds kept changing directions. Sometimes it blew from the west then changed to slightly northwest giving us tailwinds. Other times it blew from the south giving us headwinds. However, we must have had perfect timing because the strong winds did not start until we were just a mile from our hotel. As we write this entry we are looking out our hotel window watching the trees being whipped around and thankful we are not riding.
