Travel from Clinton, MD to Columbus, Ohio
"Rain, rain, go AWAY!"
Felipe, President of BSMC-MD and Ghostrider met us for kickstands up at 8:15 to escort us to Ohio.
It was an overcast day when we departed hotel, then the clouds opened and the rain began to fall. Of the 500 mile journey, we spent at least 250 in wet weather. But our rain suits could not prepare us for the hail that clobbered us as we passed through the mountain of Maryland. It felt like walnut size rocks being thrown, and for those riding without a face shield, there we left over marks on their lips and nose! We sought shelter and found it after reducing our speed to about 15 miles per hours, continuing to roll to the next exit. Visibility was limited to the lights on the bike directly in front of us, despite the fact it was 11 in the morning. The worst of the weather conditions passed within 20 minutes, and we mounted up and headed on our way, with rain constant for several more miles off and on until we reached Ohio. But we made it!!!
Finally checking in before 7:30pm, we were all looking forward to a good night sleep and a 6:30am kickstand up for the next morning.
