GOE XX, Day Five: Back Home Again in Indiana
June 22nd, 2016
The Hoosier State continued to wrap us in a hug of grey clouds. Kasey and I awoke from our slumber in our bed at the Hilton Garden Inn, and made ourselves ready for breakfast with as little effort as we could. We made our way down to the lobby, and besides the aroma of the morning meal, we were also greeted by other Cruiser Club Members.
We spent the time eating and talking, and most of the morning slipped away. Tuesday had two rides planned, one to Grissom Air Force Base, the other group was going out to wonder around and get lunch. Since we had recently visited Grissom, and the threat of heavy rain, Kasey and I opted for the lunch ride.
I would talk more about the country side in Indiana, but our eyes were more to the skies, since they seemed to thicken, and it was only a matter of time before the rain was squeezed out. We were able to make it to lunch, and then decided to just head back to the hotel rather than chance any other miles.
We stayed dry for most of the return trip, but we got wet approaching Fort Wayne and the hotel. We got back to our room, dried off, and worried about the group who was further out. They apparently rode in after the storm, and stayed relatively dry.
With the clouds momentarily breaking, it was time to head out for a bite to eat. It was a long escort, but we arrived at a gravel parking lot, dotted with small ponds formed from the recent storms. The meal was worth it, and the company is always a plus.
As the sun went down on the day, my allergies were returning, and my congestion was match with the clouds re-gathering in the sky. We would not be up and about late in the night, and shortly after laying my head on the pillow, I could hear the rain pouring outside. No one like to see their bike get doused, but at least we were not riding in it.
