I headed out much earlier today for a bike ride at around 9:15 and rode a total of thirteen miles. On the way there I noticed a large dar rain sail over the mountains on the west side of the valley. I made it to one of my usual stops and hung out for a while then headed back northbound.
Stopping for more photos with the Sony A7C, I heard the thunder and saw the lightning which got me back on the bike and rolling home as fast as I can get the electric bike back home. I did make it home dry but I’m sure that where I was very likely got hit hard with that huge downpour.
I wish that downpour would have gone over my home! I did grab some photos using the iPhone but those are still in the phone. 74 degrees was a perfect temperature to ride today!
Nice bike!
Glad to hear you made it home before the rain rolled in. But it’s too bad it didn’t make its way to your house.
So… a mix of good luck (home dry) and bad luck (no rain for the garden).
You are correct, Rudi! The rain fell south of my place and almost caught up with me.
Sounds like a wonderful early morning ride.
It was, 100%! The storm seemed to be heading directly at me. 🤭
Wonderful sky, but good to be out from under it.
Thanks, Anneli! The storm did go just south of my place but I still got the miles I was looking for today. I hope the monsoon rains will dump on us good this summer!
