30.60mi Nickel Plate Trail North Rochester to Denver w/Eleven Bikin' Bros Awesome Despite The Downpour

This was a planned ride last week, but postponed due to rain. We waited till 7AM and decided we could make it. Unfortunately the weather won, and 10 miles from the end, the skies opened up to a torrential downpour. Fortunately it didn't last long, and we had mostly dried out by the end. Twelve of us Bikin' Brothers drove to Rochester IN to ride the Nickel Plate Trail South to Denver, where we enjoyed a meal at the Farmhouse Cafe. Had we not stopped, we probably wouldn't have gotten wet, but it is hard for us to pass on a great meal! 😂
The weather at the start was beautiful, even a bit on the cool side. The trail volunteers did a great job clearing the trail after last week's storm.
Great friends, great food and and EPIC bike ride! It just doesn't get any better! Stay safe everyone!
