It's still a bit early to be checking the weather forecast, but I have to admit I've been doing it everyday since the first 14-day forecast began showing this weekend. I know it's meaningless to do so, but oh well. From what I've heard/read, weather forecasts get pretty accurate once you are 2-3 days out.

I didn't ride that year, but I know one of the days was cancelled 4 or 5 years ago. If I'm not mistaken it was Day 1 that was cancelled.

If it's just scattered showers, we'll be riding. If there is thunder/lightning associated with the storms, it'll be cancelled. Can't have the volunteers out at the rest stops if there's lightning in the area.


EDIT: Here is a link to a news story about Day 1 being cancelled a few years back ( http://www.chron.com/neighborhood/ka...ed-1722561.php ).
