Who would of thunk it? June 21st, the summer solstice and one of my great friends birthdays and it rains on Catalina!? What a day for a bike ride, not only did it start raining as soon as we started, but it kept going during our entire ride. Anywhere else and and in any other situation this would of really been a rotten time, but given we were basically on an island paradise 25 or so miles from Los Angeles it was pretty good. Well until we got to the mud… Not that I don’t mind getting a little messy from time to time, but that was just enough to get us to turn back. All said and done what an unforgettable ride with and unforgettable friend! Oh, least I forget to mention that just as expected, the rain stopped just as we finished our ride… oh mother nature, what a sense of humor!
