Today's stats: We rode 91 miles with weather varying from clear to cloudy skies with thunderstorms developing in the PM. Towards the end of the day, we passed by Canyon Ferry Lake shown in the pics. It is a large lake of which the pics show the south end. I ended my ride with Jim, Lori, Brian and Philippe in a pace line just as the wind and rain hit. There was a severe wind sheer that almost blew us off the road as we turned into Townsend High School. Even though there were forecasts of severe weather for the evening, we sent up and slept in our tents anyway. In between storms there was a beautiful rainbow over the school. We are now riding out another storm in our tents with significant winds. Both Tom and I tied down the tents with the extra tie-down ropes for high wind conditions. I am also holding down the tent by hand on the inside. I will report the results tomorrow if we survive.
