Now most people think I am weird but just to prove that I truly am weird....
We did a ride for the Ashley house this year thru American Cycle in Buckley, Wa. What we awoke to was a overcast, windy, bone chilling cold sorta day. Not to stop us though. We gear up, get on many layers (George was very brave only jeans, long john shirt with a long sleeve shirt over it his leathers and he was good) I on the other hand.. Jeans, 3 layers of shirts, sweatshirt, my leathers, 2 pair of gloves, my Ninja hood. Ok I was ready to go. We Step out of the garage get ready to get on the bike and the last bit of Noah's ark hit us. Whoosh RAIN!!!. We ride in the rain now I have never done this before its quite a fun experience let me tell you. George had water pooling in his Glasses. (I was good I had on a full face helmet) The roads are beyond wet and slippery, its foggy, low light, visibility is poor due to the rain coming down. Pull into the cycle place just get off the bike looked out at the street and BAM! A biker had been hit by a car. After all is said and done her legs and hand hurt but she was mostly ok she was off to the ER. So now we are beyond soaked being out in the rain directing traffic and helping her out. Wow what a morning so far...
It turned out we (50) bikes pull out and head on a journey for the kids. It was a toy run/poker run. Good times as always! Made it to the house no more injuries and everyone was able to let their guard down and relax we had made it at last. It started out a very rough scary morning but ended up being a joyful experience. Got back to the house the bike is disgusting, dirty, road grime all over it But, smiles on our faces that we made a lot of kids happy this year for Christmas. As soon as we got in the garage the sky opened up. Thank you God!
