I am out. Still coughing up hairballs from a touch of the plague earlier this week.

Ahh man, and I was really looking forward to riding with the queen of france. Hope you feel better Dan. I might be out as well, 50/50. The weather is still looking pretty nasty and I'm lagging on things I have to get done this weekend. Been feeling icky all week too. I guess that means I'll just suffer more on the hills.
So Ian, what's the word?

Something tells me we won't really know until tomorrow AM. Just like this morning, in the north county, it was clear for a couple hours (yeah, quick ride), then it started raining.

I just cheked the forecast on weather.com and on https://forecast.weather.gov/. Both sites say rain before 9:00 AM, then cloudy, then rain agian in the afternoon. I've got my bike in the car ready to go, but I'll decide tomorrow morning. Might be wiser for me to stay closer to home.
Hey Dan, hope you are feeling better.

It's raining. I'm going back to bed.
Or maybe not. There's a lot of clear sky. Maybe I'll wait a little longer.

Okay... it's still raining here in La Jolla. I'm calling the ride off. We'll try again another weekend.

I was too lazy to turn the computer on this morning and the weather didn't look bad at all here, so I drove my sorry arse all the way to Solana Beach. After winning the wuss-of-the-month award for January I thought I'll win the February title hands down, but now I see I've got some serious competition. It was nice and mostly sunny in SB, but since nobody else came I drove back to OC. When I got home, it started sprinkling a little, so I put my bike back in the garage like a wise man. In retrospect, I think canceling the ride was a good decision. Any plans for re-scheduling?
Hey Rob, hope you are feeling better bro.

I got out a little after 10, rode down to Torrey, then back up to San Elijo. I got rained on for about 2 minutes on PCH. It didn't rain hard on the coast until later.

How about June 27th, since the first one was schedule on the same day as Red Trolley, this one can be schedule on what was supposed to be the date of Green Trolley.

28th is better for me but I could probably make the 27th. It'll be my last ride before I get a real job.
