Usually I just make do as best I can. I try to be in camp during the actual thunderstorms. That usually means riding early and finishing up before the storms hit when they are expected since they are most often in the afternoon or evening.

I really haven't found thunderstorms to usually be as bad as all day rain. On the other hand they can be pretty scary in really open country in the west or if really severe anywhere. I have been hailed on quite a few times and the lightning was pretty terrifying sometimes when there was no cover for miles and miles.

I have found that some trips I am more tempted to stay in motels quite a few nights due to storms, but have also toughed it out on long trips with lots of storms.
