ride on president's day?

Fair enough, let's make it Monday then.

We'll meet at 10 am in the lot behind the Bicycle Outfitter.

Me too! Me too!

See you then!

I'm getting nervous about the weather. Are we going to ride no matter what or what?

Hi - I figured I would wait until Monday morning, long-range weather forecasts are not particularly accurate this time of year!

I'll post here a 9 am on Monday to let you know if I htink we should have the ride.

If it's raining at 9, or if it was raining heavily earlier that morning, then it's a no-brainer, we'll do it some other time.

On the other hand, if it's yes-no-maybe, I'll see what my magic 8-ball has to say.

If it helps any, there was a chance of rain predicted for our Mt. Diablo ride last weekend but we went ahead anyways, and the rain didn't start until late that afternoon, long after the ride was finished.

OK, it's Sunday night, and they're predicting thundershowers for tomorrow. Maybe they won't materialize, but I'm not willing to take a chance.

In the "we live to ride another day" spirit of things, I hereby cancel the President's Day Tour de Woodside.

If it turns out bright and sunny, feel free to lash me with an old inner tube. If'n you can catch me

- Jo.

Well, it's clear out my window right now (about 7:00 a.m.), but I can't see over the Santa Cruz mtns from this vantage point. Blaine and I were thinking of doing a McKean/Bailey/Santa Teresa and back to our house loop if our ride today got cancelled. I guess I'll go turn on the tv and see what the radar looks like.

Here's an on-line radar view:

I don't know what to say. It'll probably turn out to be a fine day, but the weather reports haven't backed off from "Showers and thundershowers likely." It's the threat of thundershowers that I'm not too keen on.

Hope you have a great time, that's a nice route! I love going down Bailey Rd (up's no so bad,either).
