Rode the Pig Trail Saturday...

[cmiles3]

And I got soaked. Almost home, tried to detour around the storm, but it exploded. On the south edge, heading south, I couldn't outrun it.

 

Here's the route I planned:

I abandoned the route at Jay, and headed south to Locust Grove to miss the storm. As soon as I turned south, the heavens opened up. Lightning, rain, wind... I stopped to pitch all my pocket contents in the trunk and don my jacket. I resumed until I reached Locust Grove, then stopped for an early supper until the storm passed.

 

After supper, I headed west until I saw more lightning ahead, then turned north at Inola, to get back to my original route. As I danced between raindrops on the final leg, I saw downed power lines.

 

If I do this ride again, who's in?
