Float trip to Eureka Springs

The ever popular dual sport ride to Eureka Springs, AR is going on this weekend. Hosted by some dual sporters out of Kansas, this trip has always been a blast in the past. This year promises to be a wet one, however. My wife Kay and I had planned to ride up on Thursday afternoon, but monsoon rains convinced Kay to stay home. I thought I would brave the elements and did get out and ride a couple of hours, but after running errands around OKC in the deluge, I decided my nice warm comfortable bed would be better than a good soaking. I also learned that my waterproof gloves and rain jacket were not so waterproof after all. The gloves lasted two miles, while the jacket was a bit better, lasting a couple of hours before starting to feel damp. My BMW pants and boots worked flawlessly as in the past, keeping the wet out. I plan to try again tomorrow with a different jacket and gloves.
