I'm not sure how far Hank lives from NoF3ar, but I live about 1 1/2 hour from NoF3ar and it's pretty darn stormy here. Trees falling, rain sheeting at a diagonal angle, shingles in backyard pools, etc.....

I'm not joking when I say this ,I'd really like some of that rain to come my way . You can keep the wind though , I'm on the water (literally not figuratively) unless I'm on my bike. Here it's rained hard for about 5 minutes every few hours, with bright sunshine in between .

That's the past. You've mentioned the forecast.

Here's the updated forecast:

"Wednesday: Mostly cloudy with rain likely in the north bay and a chance of rain elsewhere. Highs in the mid 50s to lower 60s. Southeast winds 10 to 20 mph increasing to 20 to 30 mph with higher gusts in the afternoon."

Since it never gets too cold in the Bay Area (your words), it looks like the weather will be just fine. The Crack should be nicely sloppy but Boy Scout will be unridable.

So have you solved your equipment problems or are you begging off?

If you really wanted to know you could always just check out the Weather Channel.

I'm not sure if the weax updates are reason enough for the thread. Overall, great initiative with the original post, but the execution over all has left a bit to be desired.

Edit: Oh and in response to my 'everything ok?' on Saturday, the guy told me 'Great - just out of shape!' and laughed. I got a kick out of that.

Oh, it was so devastating. I don't know how I can possibly go on...

The forecasts are unfortunately neccessary because a certain someone is very confused about the nice riding weather that is scheduled for tomorrow.

If the thread continues to cause people distress, why do they keep on opening the thread? No self-control?

Nothing is built there except a antartic type weather station and there is a glacier there almost year round.

What, you guys have never hiked and skiid Tuck's??
one spring I skied it , It made me want to move west , where I could do a lot of backcountry skiing .A year later I moved to Summit County Colorado , it turned out to be the best move of my life . I had to give up my first love(surfing), but there were so many "Outdoor Sports" that I most likely would have never tried if I spent my life living 20 minutes from Boston

"So have you solved your equipment problems or are you begging off?"

Sould I be racking up the car for the morning drive or...?

Excuse me for not being on for the last 6 hours.

I believe I allready said I had no money for a new tread or wheel so.... hmmm now I haven't solved anything. Im kind of sad, because the sun came out today and the weather was amazing. Guess Im begging off? Ill post later when I get paid, or I beg someone around me for money.
