We're riding Baby

Sounds good for the cancelling by 8:30. OK, did we say we would meet at 10 or 10:30? I have 10 written on my calendar. If we go early, we could miss the rain.

**DeniseGoldberg** · 05-13-2005, 12:09 PM

I had it in my calendar at 10 too.

The forecast that I saw calls for a 50% chance of rain beginning at 9am. Of course that also means that we have a 50% chance of no rain, right?

OK, I'll call Jody (Surly) a little before 8:30. She can give an update on the weather near Hopkinton. Then I'll call Denise. I don't have Spazz's #.

Robyn -
I have Spazz's number, so I can call her after you call me. Funny, I was thinking that we ought to have a plan rather than all of us sitting and waiting for the phone to ring. You just beat me to it!

I just sent my # to Surly. Sent earlier to Denise.

I'll await the go/no go call by 8:30.

THanks grrls! spazz

Sounds like a plan ladies and I just checked the weather and we may be in luck. Weather.com is saying not till 3:00 now for the rain, but I never trust them. Lets touch base in the morning to confirm or not.

**Crankin** · 05-13-2005, 06:11 PM

What about Anaphase? Does anyone have her #? Is she coming?
Talk to all in the AM

**spazzdog** · 05-13-2005, 06:41 PM

never heard from her...

spazz

**anaphase** · 05-14-2005, 08:46 AM

I sent a reply back to you a while ago. Hrm.
Just got Jodi's PM this morning... too late! Sorry.

I'll definitely make it to the next one.

**spazzdog** · 05-14-2005, 08:48 AM

My virtual Mass ride was blown away today - literally. The winds were in the upper 20s with gusts in the upper 30s and woudl've been head/cross winds for the vast majority of the ride!

Did ya'll get Your ride in???

**spazzdog** · 05-14-2005, 11:36 AM

Threat of rain postponed... I think a couple of the grrls rode in a different area.

I'm cleaning house - pfffft!

Well, it was gray and threatening at Jody's house this morning - and she lives the closest to our starting point. So the group ride was canceled. Robyn & I decided to ride anyway, and I was set to drive to her house as the starting point. But then Jody called me back and said that the gray had turned to rain. Robyn & I were both determined to ride, but with the threatening weather we ended up riding on our own. I figured it would be a real bummer for Robyn to wait for me to drive to her place (as it would probably have taken me about 15 minutes to finish getting my act together and a half an hour to drive) and then to have it start raining. So Robyn & I both headed out on our own from our own houses. I managed to get a decent ride in, and guess what - no rain yet! (Not here, anyway.) So maybe I overreacted. Or maybe we should have just moved the ride...

Guess we'll just have to try for our ride next Saturday instead!

Hey, I made an Judgement call this morning based on the information I had which was the sky was grey and it rained here. Okay, so it only rained for ten minutes and then it was just cloudy. Now its late afternoon and gorgeous. Sorry. Someone else can be chief next time.

No chiefs, no blame, no one's fault! I hope you didn't take my post the wrong way - given that it was rainy at your house it felt like canceling was the right thing to do. I just wasn't willing to give up riding today, especially since it wasn't raining here. Based on your saying that the rain stopped quickly I guess I should have headed to Robyn's house - but I figured I didn't want to hold up either of our rides figuring that if we waited to ride until I could drive over there that we'd all be in the rain!
