They don't have to do Marshall wall - it's out and back up Hwy. 1 to Marshall.

Well, actually, we're heading (basically) north/west and then we turn around at Marshall after which we'll be heading south/east.

Right into the wind coming from the southeast.

This is going to be epic.

Maybe not, but that's a lot of vibrant winter time green

Wow!

"Chance of precipitation 80%" uhhh... are you two putting fenders on???

Hope you ride during the 20% chance when it's NOT raining!

**jobob** · 01-25-2008, 12:46 PM

Yep, we gots our fenders! and scuba gear

Maybe you'll need a "brim" on your helmets to help fend off the drips and the wind!

I used to ride in the rain holding an umbrella. Of course those were the days when I was commuting to class- about a mile from where I lived.

Hope you can be warm if not dry. Hope it clears out a little bit for you. Hope, hope, hope.....

**Veronica** · 01-25-2008, 02:43 PM

Wow, the forecast has gotten even "better"!

Saturday: Periods of rain. High near 57. Windy, with a east southeast wind 31 to 34 mph decreasing to between 22 and 25 mph. Winds could gust as high as 44 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%.

It has been a downpour here in Marin all day. I just had to go to court in the city and it was a nightmare (especially driving with one hand!

). Roads are flooded. The bike path you guys will go on is partly underwater, as it always is when rain and high tide come together. Lots of rocks and wash out debris in the roads. Storm drains overflowing.

I'm sure it will be better by tomorrow.

At least it's not very windy. Looks like more wind tomorrow, though.

Um.... Kind of glad I broke my arm.

**jobob** · 01-25-2008, 03:02 PM

Gaaaahhhhhh. This is getting funny, in an absurd sort of way.

**maillotpois** · 01-25-2008, 03:05 PM

Yeah, that's how you have to look at it. I am sure it will be better tomorrow - mostly because there will simply be nothing left above water if it continues like this. But you just have to set yourself up for an epic ramble/swim, and just know you'll have HUGE bragging rights when you are done!

**Veronica** · 01-25-2008, 03:10 PM

I'm actually beginning to think that riding up Diablo might be better. It's less time to be miserable.

If I don't do the brevet, I still need to get 126 miles in before the end of the month.

Goomg a bit OT here.
There's a lady with the Riverside club who's very light skinned, to the point of almost being an albino. She's got a parasol like thing fitted to her helmet.
