Rain, rain go away!

From Kent Peterson's SIR 300K report (link posted on the LD Girls thread).

Pulling out of Port Hadlock, Albert Meerscheidt explains weather forecasting to me. "You see," he says, "a 40% chance of rain means it's going to be raining somewhere in the forecast area. And if we are out riding, there is a 100% chance that rain is going to be falling on us." Profound observations like this are the key to the club's camaraderie.

Being up in Seattle I suppose they know from things like this.

oh that's funny!! yeah, I figure if I am riding a 400k then I will be riding into the rain at some point. my hope is the rain is going west to east during the morning when I am going east to west so I get it for a shorter period of time. but I doubt that'll happen.

it rained at about the 200k mark of the 600k last year - rain so thick it was hard to breathe. I survived.

I briefly considered doing the whole thing. The weather forecast changed my mind.

Yeah, Sunday, when they're forecasting clear and 70s... grump, grump.

Its looking nice up here at the moment but last night we got so much hail the yard and deck were completely white this morning. If it must rain on Saturday let it be soft drops not that stuff YIKES.
