I'm considering filing suit with the state of California, as I was promised this:
@bikingshearer, I see a class action lawsuit.

Just noticed this seems to be close to home. I'm in HMB. Is this ride still occurring regularly?

Yes, this Saturday is the next scheduled ride. Usually there’s discussion the day or two before on who’s going (and the weather). Currently the forecast is looking better. Hope to see you there.

Hi Guys, I hope to join you on for this ride one of these days when the timing is right with my schedule. Meanwhile, can someone share a Strava ride that matches the cue sheet? I want to check it out to see if I can keep up with you all. 
Thanks.
Thanks.

Thanks.As for tomorrow? Honestly, it almost looks like the rain is designed to cancel the ride. Here's Weather Underground's prediction for tomorrow morning/early afternoon:

I've been monitoring Weather Underground all week. I kept hoping the 4-5 hours of rain predicted for Saturday AM would shift one way or the other. Still hasn't happened. I'll make a decision if I'm going to do the ride tomorrow morning based on the latest forecast.

I'm going to pass on this one. I hope to sneak in a ride in the afternoon if the gods allow, but it does not look like the morning is a good enough bet to justify driving down from Berkeley.
I'll be out of town for the April ride, so May is the next possibility for me.

I’m going to bail also. I’m hoping to get out after the rain also.

As of 11 AM, it's raining and windy AF here in San Mateo. We made the right call. I'll ride in the rain, but I have a CF bike for that.
EDIT: Update - Now there's some thunder, too.

Since we couldn't ride, I bought another Paramount this morning. We better get these rides going again or I'm going to run out of room.
