Great... I'm south of you (Virginia Beach)...
I heard on the weather report this morning that we should expect power outages...
Be careful everyone!

Yes, I think Virginia Beach has more to worry about. I hope the storm doesn't hit you too hard.
I just got another email update from the CWC organizers which included this:
"Though our intention at this time is to hold the event as planned on Saturday, we will contact you with any updates as they become available. The longer we wait to make our final decision, the better the fidelity of that decision will be, since weather predictions will become more certain. Though we might contact you with an update on Thursday evening (of course you can watch the weather as easily as we can), it is likely that any notice of postponement or cancellation will not occur until Friday afternoon or evening. So please monitor your EMAIL."
If anyone here who is planning/hoping to do the ride is not getting these Event Update emails, let me know and I'll do my best to post them here as soon as I get them.

So, it looks like the Big Red Train of the Bicycle Place folks will be a mini train this year, as a lot of folks can't make the Sunday date.
But DH and I will be there for an 8 a.m. departure. I'll probably be the only woman in a team jersey. Say "Hi" if you see me. Who else will be there?2007 Seven ID8 - Bontrager InForm

That's it? Just a photo? No ride reports from you or Zen?
"How about if we all just try to follow these very simple rules of the road? Drive like the person ahead on the bike is your son/daughter. Ride like the cars are ambulances carrying your loved ones to the emergency room. This should cover everything, unless you are a complete sociopath."
