Does anyone know if there are showers available at the high school?

If the Terry folks are smart, they'll bring a bunch of the Gore rain shorts. I'd buy a pair, since I've been eyeing them in their catalog for over a year now.

I have rain pants, I just have a feeling I won't be too comfortable cycling in them. I guess i can open the side vents.

Well, at least it'll also be around 60o, so it'll be somewhat warm. I do remember a very large, multi-stall bathroom at the high school, but I don't recall whether it included showers.

Tomorrow's forecast says 30% chance of rain and 70F. That sounds pretty good to me.
So it's just KD, 7, and me kayaking tomorrow? Still want to meet at 11:30 at the Holiday Inn Express parking lot?

Which forecast are you looking at? NOAA is still saying 50% for thunderstorms and weather.com is saying 60%, so I definitely like yours better.
So. Do I feel like wrestling the kayak out to the car that early in the morning for a 50-ish % chance of not being able to use it? Hmmm....."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.

Can't trust those NOAA forecasts!
11:30 sounds great.
Google says it'll take 1:45 from your place to the HIEx, DB. What time do you want me to pick you up? 9-ish?

No, I was looking at the afternoon. Apparently they've updated it because now it says 67F and 50% chance of rain. Originally Posted by Kalidurga
