It's a no-go on copying the Civil War Century cue sheets. They're printed on dark colored paper and turn into a dark grey unreadable mess when I try to copy them.
Weather is looking iffy for Saturday and Sunday. Will have to make a call about kayaking tomorrow, I guess.

DB - if you give them to me, maybe I can scan them on my printer. I can adjust the settings a bit to correct for that darkness when I create PDFs.

Rain or hail is one thing, but they're calling for thunderstorms on Saturday and swinging paddles around when there might be lightning could be sketchy. The Potomac River Paddlers have even canceled their outing for this weekend, and those folks paddle throughout the winter.
I'm just glad to see that Sunday's apparently going to be (a bit) warmer than last year, with apparently no wind. I've recently acquired fenders and a rain jacket, so I'm ready to give this riding in the rain thing a go."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."

Ugh....rain....
I wonder where I can buy a set of SKS Race Blades around here.... If worse comes to worse, I may bring the fendered commuter instead :/

Hmmm...hadn't thought about bringing the bike with fenders, but that's a possibility. It would be much slower, but what the heck.

DB, if there's rain are you still planning to do the 43?

If it's raining, and I bring the fendered bike, I'm more likely to do the 25ish ride, but if the temperature is warm enough I might do 43. Kinda depends on how early a start I get. I don't want Regina to finish her metric hours before I lumber in on the Glorius. Originally Posted by Kalidurga
