clouds before sun, sun before clouds

The day was a bit different from the forecast of the rain clearing by 11:00 a.m. Eleven came, the clouds stayed. We, Debbie, Adam, and I began the ride.

Halfway through the route, the sun finally brightened the sky. With the sun came a sharp rise in temperature. The sweater came off. I was overheating at the crest of a very long, steep climb.

We began the descent to Macedonia State Park. The cool air with no sun cooled my core. Now it looks like rain! Yes, light sprinkles of raindrops begin.

In the town of Wassaic, NY, we stopped to look at the Borden Milk Factory.

The last long climb of the day brought us here.

Back at Adam’s house, a bit tired, I cleaned the mud off my bike and began to relax before dinner.
