Looks like snow all night before and the morning of the race (Wolfpack) on Saturday.

from the flyer - "Race held rain or shine".

I'm not too sure if I'm willing to race in snow.

I'll do it! But still, "rain or shine" doesn't really provide an answer for what they'll do if it snows ;-)
I'll show up @ least -- if a lot of people don't, that may be my chance to finish in the top 10, lol.

I was gonna say, be a man. I'm going, and I'm going to freeze my ass off. 35 degrees is my cutoff point, 29 is the forecast for 8am.

Speaking of, since my team kit isn't in (end of March seems to be when I'll get it), I'm bundling up.

I got 4th overall in Bikes-n-Bumps at A-Basin one year. Racing in the snow is fine. Well, my friend did crash and separate his shoulder. But other than that...

I'm thinking of taking my cross bike to the TT tomorrow just in case....

Predicted 2-3 inches here today but less snow farther north. Race is about 50 miles due north.

4"-6" accumulation predicted now (at least that's what everyone is saying). I'm still going because I want a pic of me looking like Andy.
