The forecast was for rain in Asheville. I checked the weather for Greenville SC, there was 0% chance of rain. I decided to head down to ride Paris Mtn, and then back to the parking spot in Travelers Rest via the Swamp Rabbit Trail.
The plan was going well until I got changed and grabbed my cycling shoes. I had brought my road bike, and my mountain bike shoes.
Options, change back to street clothes and just ride in street shoes.... uhhh. Fortunately, I had parked next to the Sunrift Adventures bike shop. I was able to rent a pair of mtb pedals for $5.30. Ride salvaged.
Heading up Paris Mtn, towards Greenville, the rain moved in. For about 5 minutes. Dang it. At least is was warm.
I rode down into and through Greenville to pick up the greenway. It was a pleasant ride that I will do again, only I'll bring the single speed and do an out and back on the greenway next time. It is a good alternative when it is butt cold up in AVL!
3 miles from Travelers Rest, the skies opened up. Buckets dumping on my head.
So much for staying dry.
