Did you get to ride on Sunday, CA and other NC MS150 folks?

We ended up heading down to our boat (not too far outside of New Bern but farther east, just east of Oriental) on Saturday to prepare it for Gabrielle. As it turned out, the storm was nothing at all in Oriental, less than an inch of rain, no wind higher than 25 mph. It was mostly just showers off and on, then by the time we left at 3 pm Sunday, the sun was out, and there was just a light west breeze. Sounds like Atlantic Beach, Morehead City, and Cape Lookout got hit the worst, with up to 50 mph winds and 5" of rain, but we had it very, very easy. Whew!

We figured the organizers would cancel the MS150 for Sunday given the forecast, but we saw several cars with bike racks loaded down heading out of New Bern the same time we were leaving, so that made us think that the ride had been on after all. We also saw many cyclists riding on Hwy 55 on our way into town the day before, which was neat.

Hope it was a great ride!
