There is a low probability of rain in the morning, it increases after 1:00PM. Long-term forecasts' are not very accurate however! :)
 
Oh oh,get those fendered bikes out:20:!! The bad news is that ol weatherman hasn't given us a lot of good news so far this year,good news is thats its still early in the biking season :dance2:!!

If you guys cancel I can probably make the rescheduled ride. I'm going 10 AM to Willimantic DMV for my road test and after that I'm getting my motorcycle permit the same day. Wish me luck guys. I'm EXTREMELY nervous...:arghh::arghh::arghh::arghh:

Sorry Nick, sometimes I regress; good luck buddy.
 
Good luck Nick. I remember getting my license and motorcycle validation. Exciting times.

I too will be there regardless; I doubt if any of us is so sweet as to melt from the effects of a little rain! :D
 
As you said in a previous post somewhere,"born of hardy New England stock"or was it "through rain snow or dark of night" er ahh I think that was the mailman's gig,but honestly we've borrowed his line many a time especially dark of night with the torches glowing going home on the trail after a few "pitstops":rolleyes:

You don’t understand, U-Per’s, like New Englander’s, come from hardy stock; we just deal with whatever Mother Nature throws at us and we move-on with our lives.
 
Alright guys, it looks like we’ll have clear with some overcast skies for the morning (9AM) ride, but, a slightly higher chance of rain for the afternoon ride.

My question is; would it be possible for you guys in the late ride, ride instead in the morning, in order for us all to ride and possibly get wet together? ;) If not, Stevil, I’ll send you a PM with my cell # so that we can arrange for a meet-up along the trail for both groups.

Looking forward guys!
 
Your sister's not gonna slow us down ,is she ,brother?
We ride slow but...Peace ....Stevil
 
Ha ha... His "sister", nice. Did you say that out of habit? Okay one of these times I'll sign up for a ride more than 24 hours before the start. I promise! I was hemming and hawing over distance & weather, but I'm in for the morning leg of this run.

The new forecast calls for little chance of rain both early and late rides! :113:

Don’t let your eyes deceive you guys, you need to see Miss Penny Scooterwell at the skate park showing-up them thar young wiper-snappers with her 760 off the ramp and ending with a quadruple back flip. This picture is of her on her way to the skate park to show those young punks how it’s done.
