Last night I picked up an extra shift. I went in at 11pm and left this morning at 7am. As I was checking to see what time it was, I noticed the current weather conditions for Yuma was Thunderstorms. I quickly checked the radar and saw that a large band was moving through the area in a generally Northwest direction, but there was a brief pause about to come in.
Got to my bike, got on the road, and really only had a few light sprinkles. It was a cool 87 degrees, overcast, light winds... very nice riding weather.
Then...
I got with 1/2 mile of where I am staying and the rain began to intensify, to the point of the last 25 feet before my covered parking was a full on downpour! Needless to say, scrubs are not that water resistant and I was soaked!
Apparently I did not factor in the delay of the radar images being taken, uploaded, then downloaded to one's phone.
But it was still fun! A quick towel and change and down to enjoy the free continental breakfast.
It is supposed to rain all day, with a big band/cell moving in from Mexico in the next few hours. After a nap, I just might change into my swimsuit and take a walk!
Planning a roadtrip up to Las Vegas in mid-September for a class. 298 miles and about 5 hours one way! A little longer of a ride than my Phoenix to Yuma run. Will keep you posted!
