Tommy you have a No ride clause Like tigger or are we all systems go no matter what its like outside??
All systems go here. Figure were droning of fhrs on hwys for most of the night so thats no biggie. I will monitor things tomorrow to see where the precip is, we may go for an earlier or later start depending on how things look. Seems like most of this rain is from the south going north so hopefully we pass through it quickly.

Got a few extra sweatshirts and gloves too. Rain is one thing but being cold and wet flat out sucks.

Sounds good...I was going to suggest possibly having you ride down to my house if the weather was going to cause a problem and delay our start time...but It'd have to be pretty bad for me to not ride out in it.

You got my number...and I have work till 3...Possibly getting done earlier than that so if you wanna jump the gun and head out before our orginal start time...just let me know. Im gonna try and catch a nap after work but ill probably be so fucking excited to leave i wont sleep much

I have three pairs of gloves...Hopefully I stay dry enough to not go through all three pairs...only one is truly rain glove material.

Looking at the Hourly breakdown it looks like Rain starting around midnight then clearing up around sunrise...so Maybe we get a jump on it and head out earlier?? We'll cross that bridge tomorrow.

Use rubber medical gloves, it will just take longer for your hands to start to feel cold and damp

Ok Tommy. My Main Concern is the Green Cell Thats in GA Right now...Its moving up the coast and thats whats gonna get us wet tonight...



So When I get home from work Im gonna check the Radar again and see where we stand forecast wise...But right now it looks like it we pushed our start time ahead we would beat most of the moisture the further south we pushed...But its up to you Ill follow your lead.

I am working untill around 5 up in westchester so that will limit how much earlier I can get on the road. I will keep track of that cell throughout the day and see how its tracking, (nice having a do nothing job ) all I need to do when I get home is take a quick shower mount all the bags, check the tire pressures and can be on the road. Only problem would be fighting traffic out of the city, after 6 it should start to lighten up but you never know. I may see about getting out of here early too in case we need an early jump off.

looks like the storm is moving prety fast which is good. I guess it depends on how it tracks too. I was thinking that if it stays more inland we coul dtake 95 down to 85 and stay further east and avoid some of it, or if it moves east we take the planned route and just cut through part of it.

I am kind of in the mindset that I want to be on our way at midinight but will def wait a few hrs if it looks like we will have better weather. Plus I could get in a little nap before we go.

A nap? Who the fuck can sleep! We have a rally to attend!!!

I didn't sleep worth a damn last night and was up early full of energy. I'm hoping work tires me out or I'm going to be bouncing off the walls tonight. My hyperness has kicked in overdrive!!!

I think if it werent for the rain and figuring out our travel plans I would be more excited. Now its jsut guarded optimism hoping we can leave on time and stick with our original plan but will have ot see how mother nature treats us here.
