Looks like rain, but they're saying that there is only a 10% chance of it.  Lots of sunlight blowthroughs, too.

It is cloudy right now, but it looks like they are headed north....  Keep the fingers crossed.  A little chilly out too!

You guys missed a good ride. Left at 3 and home after 8. Almost 300 km's I think.  A little cold, but I dressed for it... Had fun.

Would have been more fun if I could have held a line with that monsoon wind.  On the way back as you noticed, it was easy... could have gone warp 4 all the way home.  Oh well, I enjoyed myself.

I look forward to a re-run with warm sunshine and light winds some time this summer.

 I had a great time. Wish it was a little warmer but fun all the same. We'll do it again soon

When I got home, I noticed my back tire is showing the belts now.  I think playing that bit of Catch up really did them in...   ;D   Probably my favorite part of the whole ride,  pushing that 600  just to catch up to ya.

I woke up this morning, and looked at my tire again. There is lots of life left in it, I just need to find roads that only use the sides of the tires... ;D

Yeah, when I got home, the tire was still warm enough to pull bits of rubber off the centre...
