July 27 - Cycling on a Rainy Day to Orford

The forecast last night for today was severe thunderstorms and lightning. Arrangements would have to be made to pick up riders if this happened. However, we were lucky and faced only rain during our 55 mile ride. After lunch we had a choice to be sagged to the hotel or to continue our ride. Only one rider choose this option. My incentive to continue riding was to burn off the calories from my peanut butter, Nutella, and banana sandwich.

The final reward for a difficult day of rain, dirt roads, and hills for some riders was this raspberry pie at a restaurant half a mile before our final destination.
