Small crowd making the trek to DC this year; just Greg and me. Departure time is set for 0530 tomorrow morning, and we've been going on the assumption that with just the two of us, we should make decent time on the trip down.
Then the weather stepped in. We're now looking at 100% chance of rain for our send-off. We may ride out of it at about the halfway point, but any reprieve will be a short one. Weather for the rest of the weekend looks like showers on Saturday, showers and T-storms on Sunday, and rain for our return trip on Monday. The rain gear is certainly going to get tested (I already know how mine will do; terribly).
Oh well, we do this trip for the purpose, not for the weather. To remember, reflect, and to honor those who have served and continue to do so. So many of them have been through so much more than a few days of riding in the rain, we certainly don't have any room to complain.
Sure would be nice if the sun came out, though...
Ride Hard, Get Soaked
