I know you won't believe me

We started our trip on March 1, flying from the Flatwest to the border of CA and OR; going from a foot of snow on the ground to foggy and cool redwood forests.
We had 2 days of rain in Eur-tweeker-a; but we saw it comin' on our "smart-ass" phone and got up at 4am, biked into town, and stayed in a motel room. We charged up all our electronic devices - and our tired legs.
We rode through the desert in CA, AZ, NM, and into TX; where we saw some rain in the distance in the beautiful Davis Mountains - and rode on recently wet roads near the Washington Observatory. The woman at Davis Mountains SP told us it hadn't rained there since... She couldn't remember. Last summer?
We saw some rain in the distance in West Texas; but it never reached the ground. It evaporated before it reached the ground. Very weird looking, fer sure. But we stayed dry.
Keith let us stay in his trailer in Langtry for two days, avoiding the ridiculously strong winds and storm pushing through the region.
We rode over "dry wash" after dry wash (shown as "rivers" on our maps). We rode into the greenness of the Gulf of Mexico-influenced part of TX before Austin. Had an awesome stay with Jordan in Austin, arriving RIGHT before the rain.
We rode through LA, NM, AL, and into TN. We arrived at "our" motel on the 30th right before the rain, thunder and lightning.

And you know what?
Yesterday, May 31st, was
The first day
Of the trip
That we really
Rode our bikes in the rain.

Crazy, I know.

We biked from March 1 to May 31st, averaging about 50 miles/day - and never really rode in the rain - until May 31st.

I told you that you wouldn't believe me!
