October 2, 2011 "Just for the Hell Of It" Run

Yet another Miatamingle in the rain.  The day started out somewhat sunny, giving us hope for a top down day, but true to form, an hour in to the ride, the sky opened up.  (See attached video.)  We toured Northwestern RI into CT, very beautiful countryside.  Since we started these runs, we have discovered that the success of the event is 20% scenery, 20% weather, and 60% friendship.  With those numbers, we can't fail to have a great time, no matter what the weather brings.
The attached photos show that we did what we do best...eat and drink.  Did I mention drink?  Shopping also figured in to the mix, so what was not to like?
