Went for a 3 day ride on the bikes in the Montana Rockies with friends this past weekend and was a great trip until...... 2.5 hours sitting in a line to get back into Canada and then once in we got hit, and hit hard by hail. Were sitting out in the middle of the prairies with no cover so we all just huddled together and got hammered, helmets still on of course.. When it finally passed (about 15 minutes) we were all soaked from head to to and our bodies felt like we were just severely beaten in a bad paintball game.. Lots of welts on our shoulders and arms and a few to the face..
Moral of the story, when you see a storm moving in fast, you cannot out run them on the bikes. Turn back or stop lol..
Anyone ever been pelted by large hail?
