After a couple days of rain and cloudy skies, this morning started off bright and sunny, albeit a little cool. Hopped on the bike and headed down the hill only to hit a mini rainstorm about halfway down. There is still gravel on the road from the winter snow plows and when you hit a wet hairpin turn at 35mph, it’s a little sketchy, you get pretty good at even braking to prevent skidding.
