Looks like good weather. Friday they are predicting 21 mph winds, which would make for a barf ride on the ferry, but on Saturday it is going to be much calmer with a high of 57 F and sunny. Could still be some residual chops, depending when on when Friday-Saturday it will calm down. I would like to bring a nicer bike but I only have a rack that takes two and I will toss the rat in the pickup bed. I don't care about the finish on the rat as it is real bad already. Really wanted to bring my 30s custom Rollfast but I have no way to take 3 bikes that I care about the paint on. There is a real big classic cruiser bike ride In Marquette, Mi which gets between 100 to 150 riders (only bikes with curves frames allowed, no advertising on jerseys, no spandex and no drop bars: helmets OK but one lady has been known to put a leopard skin pillbox hat over her helmet). Violators will still be able to ride but will have a red flag on their bike or tape over their advertising or on their apparel. There is a big bash after. It's free, just bring a dish to pass and a 30 pack of beer or whatever for drinks. There are kids there so some bring soft drinks. It isn't advertised and always takes place the Sunday following the Saturday Ore to Shore (O2S) mountain bike race. Starts at 10 AM at Lakeshore Bike Shop and goes 10 miles on the city bike path. They don't want it to get big so no advertising. Its not official so we just block the roads until we all pass. Everyone seems to enjoy the parade so no far no problem with the police. Been going on for a long time.
