My new balaclava notwithstanding, I think we'll probably wind up skipping this one.
Damn weather.
I hope this gets rescheduled. Please?

Yeah, I guess it's time to pull the plug on this one. The scenery and pie aren't special when you're cold, wet and miserable.
What day is good for rescheduling? I'm free most Saturdays and every Sunday.

Now what am I going to do with the wool socks, PI leg warmers, glove liners, and fleece cap I bought for this ride?
Feb 10th, 17th or 24th would work for me.

When you create a new thread scroll to the bottom and check the poll option. After completing the 1st post it will take you to a secondary screen where you can fill in the poll question and response options.

Heavy rain and high winds? 
Even I'm not stupid enough to ride the Pie Ride under those conditions.

I'm so worried that I'll get soaked by heavy rain and struck by lightning with the few heavy clouds and the shinning sun in the sky.

Sunny and strong winds in UTC. Seems like it's heading down I guess. I guess I'll just call it a shopping day and ride my trainer later on tonight.
Get well soon, Frank. Supposed to be sunny starting Tues, if the weather report is correct.

Feet / (miles * 5280) gets you close
1300/(9*5280) = 2.73%
(The reason I say close is the miles is generally given as the hypotenuse and it should be the adjacent. At these distances and angles, the difference is negligible.)

The calculation is:
(vertical rise)/(horizontal run) *100.
So (1300 ft)/(9 miles * 5280 ft/mi) * 100 = 2.73%.
EDIT: thomson wins!
