Statistically speaking I thought it was certain that our ride through the Northwest states of Washington and Oregon would be a wet one - especially considering our previous luck with the rain.
I was surprised after our first two days that we had no rain, and in the morning as I left Albany, OR a look in the sky made me certain that we had avoided the inevitable for too long and the rain was out to get us.
However, I rode for ours in the cloudy gloom with no drops from the sky.
And as I approached Grants Pass I could see the end of the clouds and blue sky.
I am amazed. We beat the odds.
