James Micheal Harris II's funeral was today and I rode with the PGR to honor him.
Left Jacksonville at 9:10 in the rain for Washington, NC. Then helped transfer the casket from the funeral home to the hearse. Then we escorted the hearse to the family home, where the family joined us, and we went to the cemetery, near Pantego--about 45 miles away. At the cemetery, the rain finally stopped, so I took off my Frog Togs rainsuit. The funeral was fairly long, and the ride there and back was longer, so I was running behind.
I left the cemetery and started back to Washington, then Jacksonville. It started to sprinkle, but I decided to ignore it and press on--big mistake. By the time I hit highway 17 back to Jacksonville, it was coming down in buckets and I was soaked. So I kept on.
By the time I got back home, I headed straight for the Presbyterian Men meeting. Delicious dinner.
250 plus miles on the bike, most of it in the rain.
My Frog Togs rainsuit did very well, but no rainsuit will keep you dry when it is in your saddlebag.
