Here's the current forecast.
Saturday: Periods of rain. High near 54. Breezy, with a southeast wind 19 to 22 mph decreasing to between 8 and 11 mph. Winds could gust as high as 28 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%.
Riding out to the lighthouse is going to be so much fun.
There is nothing to block the wind.

Hopefully you won't drown in all the precipitation! They are forecasting 3-6 inches of rain down that way. How many changes of clothing are you going to have for this adventure? Thank goodness for Thom!
Looking forward to a writeup in "Adventure Stories" Nancy

Thom is driving me to the start and picking me up, but not doing SAG on this ride - at least that's the current plan. He needs to work on putting in new baseboards.
I've got good raingear, so I should stay reasonably comfortable and with the weather I won't be riding hard, so my gear should breathe okay. I'm just not wild about riding Sir Francis Drake in the rain and that section out and back to the lighthouse with 20 mph crosswinds.

At least you are going north- should be better than going south!
Maybe Thom will have to delay the baseboard venture. I suspect you'll decide that on Saturday AM.
Where do you turn around and come back? ( i.e.- what's the route?)
Anybody else we know going on this one? Jobob??? Nancy

looking on the bright side
At least I'll have a good excuse for taking a long time to finish.
Or, as mp suggested, getting my money's worth out of the ride.

I'm going to be a DNS for this brevet. I don't have a good enough reason to be miserable for 10 hours. I did that back in September.
Plus all the reports on the news are kind of freaking me out, creeks over in Marin flooding, cops suggesting people evacuate in San Anselmo...
Watch it turn out to not be so bad. Hope so for Jo!
