Matson 300 Team Camp: Day 4

Day 4 of camp we saw that the rain was coming and were trying to get out early. Every one got up early hoping to miss the rain, but it was on us before we got started. We were up before seven and it started by eight. We watched more radar. There were a couple of windows of opportunity that people took advantage of, but each time people got soaked. Brad and Jamie did a longer ride and got caught in a pretty decent storm, taking refuge on the back porch of someone's house for a period of time until it passed.

Weather Tracking of Severe Storms for March 15th

Late in the day I got out for about 24 miles. This was essentially the climb up Unicoi Gap to the top and then descending back down. With the pavement completely wet the descent was quite slow and slippery.

The highlight of the day was Mexican Food at La Cabana in Helen. Classic mexican feast with pitchers of Dos Equis.
