Race the rain

The only predictable thing about St. Louis weather is that it's unpredictable. I met Richard 'round 10 o'clock at the Muny. It looked dangerously close to thunderstorms as we stopped at Kayak's so Richard could grab some food. The dark clouds blew past, leaving a howling wind from the south. This led us to switch directions and plow south along the riverfront, eventually taking us to Jefferson Barracks. We didn't finish a single lap before we happened upon Mike Weiss, owner and operator of Big Shark Bicycle Company. We rode laps in the barracks' park until the sky turned threatening again and we rode back to the loop area. It was good to catch up with Mike and hear stories from Tour of Georgia.
