45 with showers? Sounds like an awesome day for some HTFU!

The ten-day is almost never right. The fronts seem to always move in either faster or slower, but almost never exactly as predicted. I NEVER bank on a ten-day forecast being accurate (and right now I'm crossing my fingers that I haven't cursed us).

I am so bummed that I won't be able to go after all because of a family commitment that I just can't miss. :( Will miss you all and hope to see you at the Double or Nothing.

Oh noes!!! My suffer partner in crime is not coming!

:roflmao2:

:D

:cry: :( :mad:

I may be cursed vis a vis this group ride. Last week I hugged a tree down at the Kettles and took a handlebar to my quad just above the knee. I've made my schedule available for this ride. But... considering the injury I may not be able to join.

Since the current forecast shows ~50F and 60% chance of rain for Sat., are we still going to do the ride if those conditions prevail?
Because then I really have to pack a big bag of HTFU to get through that ride.

I bet CC wins this race.

But it's not a ra....

oh.

If I can score a bike I'll go. Mine got mangled in an accident last Wednesday. Here is hoping I get the ins check from the driver and that I can make up my mind quickly.

OK, I laughed. May not win but I will get a good workout in. :)

Implying you still consider it to be something that can be won.

Have fun guys.

I'm not. If it raims, I'm out.

So, if we really do get rained out, there are these options the following weekend (yes, each costs $...$ for autism, and $ for animal shelters) which are both in SW Wisconsin. Just a thought. Or we could just who could do a rain-postponed version that weekend.

So it's not looking like I'll get the insurance check in time so I won't have a bike in time. Anyone have a 52-54 cm they can loan me for the ride? :D

I assume both of those will be hitting some of the same roads as the fall Wright Stuff Century in which case they are very good choices, especially since they are put on by Stew.

A less hilly but still with some challenging hills is the Bombay Ride for May 2. It starts fairly close to Capitol Brewery as well.

There is also a new restaurant in Madison that you BFNICers might enjoy that is also in the same vicinity as the Bombay Club Ride.

Forecast high of 70 degrees, 40% chance of rain. I'm sure not riding with the four out of ten of who will get rained on.

Or do we just avoid the rainy 40% of the route?

I'm out. Work. :mad:

:cry:

That's one. A little rain gonna get you other pansies?

Oh man ... I sure hope the weather outlook improves.

I would think that a little rain would be good for pansies...and other flowers, too.

Wwjd.

Ride.

Well... now the rain is up to 60% with T-Storms... and 70% the night before. With up to 1/2" of rainfall over the two periods.
