Day 25: meet the parents

From Utica it's a little over 60 miles to Marion, where I'll be meeting my parents who are coming down from Wisconsin to meet me. I like days like this; I know I have a nice warm place to stay tonight, and a rest day tomorrow, so I can just bike hard all day. Problem was the weather, word was rain along with a 20 deg drop in temperature. I got out of Utica dry, but thick clouds were looming. A little ways out I spotted this thunderhead, the nice thing was the shift to a cross wind that blew toward the storm. I easily avoided it. People were warning me of the weather all day, but it didn't come till I was just 2 miles from Marion, and it just dumped rain on me until I arrived at the bed and breakfast meeting place, then it died down. Anyway I got dry quickly, and it's nice to see my parents.
