What started out as a beautiful Saturday, only a chance of rain, turned into 6 1/2 hours of riding in near hurricane conditions!  Pat was leading (of course, he found water), with newbie Michael Badger along for the ride.  After passing 3 or 4 Firehouses, a decision was made that we might as well grab Badger's first Grand Tour patch.  A very soggy run...the only time it stopped raining was when we had lunch at Tony Hopppa's!
