Try again to ride?

The percentage on rain is going up again but I NEEEED to get the RR out this weekend. Anyone heading to north GA or west NC saturday? The maps make GA look better on rain but the way this summer has been it will be a wake up and check the radar

Might be possible.... I won't know until late tonight though, so if you can firm up plans with others before then, go for it.

Re: Try again to ride?

Sounds good I am just plotting now, but I got a new tire on the RR calling to me Of course like I said there is also a decent rain % so I need to look at radars. (although the ride we plotted would be fun)

Re: Try again to ride?

New route selected and the heck with the rain prediction

Past the co-eds at Sewanee through Tracy City and up to Whitwell. To Altamont via Gruetli Laager and back in via Pelham (maybe a detour to Lynchburg)

Re: Try again to ride?

Got a cub scout Jamboree this weekend. No riding for me until Sunday afternoon after the campout ends and I get all the camping stuff put up. Figures I was free last weekend. If you get out on a long ride have fun and keep the rubber side down.
