Went on a ride with an old friend and a new friend this weekend. They are both Harley riders. Here we are meeting up in the morning, notice they are trying to block the Suzuki out of the picture
The plan was to go as far east as you can go and still have road access to the barrier islands and then travel as far west as you can go before having to head back north. This would take us from High Island through Galveston down to Surfside. We would get to cross a few of the tall bridges over the intercoastal waterways and take a ferry ride, it was going to be great. Weather forecast for Saturday, all week long (including Friday night), called for sunny skies low in the 50's high in the mid 70's. Oh that weather is a fickle thing.
Are those clouds getting darker
We stop in Liberty to get some camera batteries and feel a few raindrops. I pull up the radar on my phone and see that it is just a thin band of rain and it looks like it will pass through quickly. I assure the guys it shouldn't be more than a sprinkle and all will be fine.
Finally some nice roads
Could I have been wrong about the rain?
As you can see it starts to rain, but I am still convinced this is going to pass. I forgot the maps I had printed off so we had stop and try to figure where to go. Think the guys are starting to get a little annoyed with me at this point. I should point out that none of us has any rain gear, nor are we near anywhere that would sell any.
Finally we get out of the rain and we aren't to wet at this point. Riding through the coastal plains.
I'm convinced it's going to be all good. We stop for gas in Stowell, and of course it starts sprinkling again.
I pull up the radar on the phone again, and see that the rain has exploded all over the place. We are going to get soaked whichever way we go so might as well continue on.
