so we got a doozy of a storm last nite and i got to be smack dab out in the middle of it. awesome.

at 5pm from my office window - i see, what...a CLOUD? damn. nice. i better hit the road.



so i hit the trail and mainline it to the HOL. get to the dam and decide not to climb out. it's getting dark and stormy.



i hightail it back out looking for my friends i was supposed to hook with on the trail...well. never found em - so just headed to our designated drinking place: shady grove. by the time i got there it was coming down hard. i had to ride out of the greenbelt with freakish lightening just wondering. does lightening strike bikers? g got stuck out in it on his commute home too. we're like on the cellfone going: uh...damn. it's raining.



we hang out and everyone is mesmerized by the rain. it brings everyone together and all are in a good mood.



my friends are funny when they drink and we have a fun time.



i start my ride home and hit the ped bridge. the storm is now leaving and the lightening is wonderful.



this has been a good nite! the ride, the storm, the drinks with friends - and now the ride home. i see the lovely sunset from the bridge. it's almost too much. one side is a lightening storm in the clouds. i look to the other side, and it's this sunset. this is a good thing. riding home with a buzz feeling happy in the storm. i'm soaked and dirty. i got to hang with the girls for a bit. yap. i hope everyone got to enjoy the storm in some way. whether out playing or inside with people you love or maybe just staring off into space.
