Big Storm

Today we arrived in Fayetteville, NY, just outside of Syracuse, after leaving my brother and sister-in-law in Remsen. With some breakfast pizza in our bellies, we set off ready to ride a much easier day than we have been, barely over 60 miles and much smaller hills. Unfortunately, we hit a storm on the way. The wind knocked us around on our bikes, the rain reduced visibility to nothing, and the lightning was a little worrying. I'd pulled a little ahead and had no chase car behind me, so finally I pulled over at a State Farm building to wait out the storm. A few minutes later, Nick and Austin caught up and waited with me. Eventually we made it, having weathered a bit of a storm.
