NERRB Freeze Your Beep-Off 3 Northampton, MA new date Sunday, April, 19th

[ZygoteLittle]

Should these temperatures continue, it'll look good for this ride to happen! The snow melt rate here is incredible!

It's starting to warm-up!

 

[ifitsfreeitsforme]

not really!

 

[ZygoteLittle]

It is too!





(Well, sort'a)




But, we are riding nonetheless, unless of course it rains!

Joel, would it be possible to take a look at the trails this weekend? It’ll be your call if you think we could ride on them; sorry about deferring responsibility to you at the last second. This’ll give us some lead time if the trails are unusable for rescheduling.

Having said all that, should we ride regardless of trail conditions?

What say you all? I say we go with our "beater bikes" and start the Riding Season! But, some will differ - and that's cool too!

That rainy pattern doesn't look good.
What would a delay of one week cause?
More or less attendance? Let's open
the discussion this week...Stevil

Agreed! Let's discuss this now that we have some lead time.

There's a couple spots with some snow and debris

and a couple spots with runoff from melting

but mostly clear

so it's up to the weather ...

 

[ZygoteLittle]

Thank you, Joel!

So what do you guys think, should we ride?!

Perhaps we should decide later-on this week, say on Thursday or Friday, because long term forecasts’ are notoriously inaccurate and we might not get any rain at all!!!

-Hopefully-

 

[ZygoteLittle]

BTW - it was snowing (flurries) this morning but it didn't stick!

I say we postpone it a week.

Very well, we’ll postpone this weekend’s ride and reschedule it for next Sunday April, 19th.

Not sure how far Northampton is from Stafford Springs CT but the weather there for Sundays swap looks about as perfect as can be. Anyone going to Stafford? Stevil?

I was actually thinking of driving to Northampton and staying for the weekend.I am definitely in for the Sunday ride but I was thinking that I might come up Saturday and stay the whole weekend. Was wondering if anyone was interested in riding on Saturday? Let me know.

 

[ZygoteLittle]

Well, it’s a good thing we waited; as we started the day this morning with three-inches of sugar snow on the ground.

So once again I see the "freeze your butt off ride" is postponed due to cold weather. [emoji38]

Also Brian, there is the Fitchburg airport car show/swap that day. That's where I'll be
