20 percent chance

[the Ferret]

Son called last night and asked if I wanted to join he, an old high school buddy and his father on a ride in N Ky today. Weather terrorist says 20 percent chance of rain. I check the radar before I leave and nothing on radar. I show up at his house in a light drizzle. The high school buddy and his dad were a no show so we went alone.

On the ramp to the Ferry that shuttles us from southern Ohio to Northern Kentucky

we weren't the only ones that fell for the 20% line. This area of Northern Kentucky is a motorcyclist playground. The ferry hauls a lot of bikes on weekends.

We did about 60 miles of curvy road riding at a reduced pace due to the wet roads. This is the same loop I led Empty Sea's group on when they came through back in May.

Leaving Kentucky, headed back to Ohio on the Ferry. It costs $2.00 for the ferry ride each way, or you can drive around and cross on the bridge 20 miles up river. Just about a wash cost wise for 1 gallon of gas if you ride around.

The worst part of riding in the rain....
