THURSDAY, May 20th - Embassy Suites Figure 8 Loops - 8:30 START

UPDATE - RIDE IS ON

At 6:20 Thursday morning it looks like we might have damp roads to start.

Breakfast stop will need to be after the ride instead of during.

Rains appear to be returning perhaps before noon.

Original Post

The weather forecast for Thursday is iffy - but then it was for today (Wednesday) too and I snuck a ride in from 8 to 9:30 AM - the last half hour was soggy.  It also seems like there was a window this afternoon for a ride - SO maybe we will give this a try.  When conditions have been like this in the past I have suggested a route that keeps us relative close to Embassy Suites so if we have to bail (pun intended) we can.

I'LL SCHEDULE THE START FOR 8:30 am

WATCH THIS SITE AND/OR EMAIL FOR ALTERATIONS TO START TIME

OR CANCELLATION  OF THE RIDE ON THURSDAY MORNING



BELOW IS COPIED FROM A 2019 RIDE but still applies

 This week's Thursday route I plan is an old (modified) Figure 8 route.  The southern loop is 17.5 miles around Weatherby Lake.  The northern loop is 15.4 miles going as far as Martin Rd and Skyview.  We could do these in either order with a breakfast stop at the Cracker Barrel either in the middle or at the end.



The weather looks borderline as I write this (2pm Wednesday).  Watch this site or check email Thursday morning for possible cancellation.
