Ya wanna make Janice happy, take her to The Orchard on Market St.

I think a dry Saturday would make me happy. And it looks like I may not be happy come Saturday...

Yeah, it doesn't look like the Saturday ride will be happening. 90% chance of rain.
And I've decided to use my commuting bike for this ride, which I abandoned at the office this afternoon, and which I may abandon tomorrow afternoon, too, if it's raining hard. I guess I could drive in tomorrow night to pick it up, if it looks like the rain will stop.
Sorry, just thinking as I type here. I'm not optimistic.

Well, we can reschedule. Maybe Miss Tam will be well enough by then. It's a gorgeous ride and we can eat where ever you want (That Cuban Place?!)

I checked with Julie, the ride leader, about whether or not this ride is still going off.
She said:
"I'm still holding out hope that the ride will happen tomorrow. According to the weather report, it looks like the rain will be ending tomorrow morning. So, althought the roads might be a little wet, we should be okay to go!
"If you have them, put fenders on your bike! "
So....check this space or the MORE forum in the a.m. for the final word.
I don't have fenders...but can put a grunge guard on the downtube to protect my waterbottles. Otherise...I'd just get muddy. DB....you still in if the ride goes off ?
Weather.com had 30% chance of "few showers" for Frederick at 10 a.m. tomorrow (looking at the hour-by-hour). So, yeah...maybe it'll be drippy, with wet roads...but maybe not actively raining.Last edited by 7rider; 04-04-2008 at 12:07 PM. Reason: checked the hour-by-hour...
