Stats: We rode 75 miles in rain, then sun and hot and finally in rain again. After the sun came out later in the morning, temperatures reached into mid 80's. Several riders got caught in rain and hail this afternoon when some storms hit again. I pushed hard for the last 10 miles and was able to get to Ennis High School ( our campsite for the night) before the rain and hail hit. It was somewhat fearful and motivating for me to pedal at 20 mph and watch these black clouds form all around me. Baggage was unloaded inside due to the threat of rain. Each day when we arrive at the school our bags will be sitting on the ground waiting for us. If we arrive early we will usually help unload the baggage trailer. After dinner the weather cleared and Tom and I walked into Ennis which offers a nice mixture of new and old. As you can guess, fly fishing is one of the major activities in the area. By the way we did survive the storm in our tents last night. I held the tent steady on the inside as we rock and rolled in a thunderstorm with significant wind gusts.
