Ok, so I just looked at the extended 10 day forcast and rain is expected, well more like showers. Granted around here things change very quickly, but has there been any thought to a rain day? Or is this a rain shine ride?

Thanks

Dave

I will 100% not be attending if its raining.

**Half Squid** · 09-18-05, 11:44 AM

If it rains I will not be riding but still out there the night before with the truck and bike, then I will be at Friendly's for breakfast.

Rain date could possibly be Sat Oct 1

But if this is the same weekend as the "Last Race weekend" Then the meet spot is Moto Market and I am riding up to the track.. I think you all should follow and be prepaired to stay the whole weekend!

why not make the rain date the next day if possible based on the weather. Sunday is a nice day to ride as well.

**BigShel** · 09-18-05, 01:05 PM

Sounds good to me...Sunday if rain for saturday.

I vote for Oct 1 as a rain date... that way I may be able to make the ride.

**GadgettR1** · 09-18-05, 05:59 PM

As of right now I have one slot open in my trailer (enclosed and a seat in the truck) running up from New Bedford up 495 to the Mass Pike to the hotel in Wilbraham the Friday before the ride. Anyone else interested in joining us so you don't have to ride up to the ride and back? Rui? I see you're planning on dusting off your bike.. lol.

RAIN RIDE!!!!!!!

**mzdagrl** · 09-18-05, 07:48 PM

Well, reiobard may disagree, but I am riding that day, rain or shine. I got my hotel room, so I will be there, at friendly's, waiting to ride. I gots rain gear, and I have no problems slowing down. Not to mention it is very hard for me to ge weekend days off, so I have to take them when I get them...

**dave72370** · 09-18-05, 07:50 PM

Same here. I just looked again and it is only 30% chance of rain. Who knows they predicted rain today and it was nice and sunny where I was. See you all there sunday

**xvrider** · 09-18-05, 09:00 PM

I'm with you girl...I don't mind a little wetness...Now I just have to get rain gear..And are you staying with me??I mean at the same place??

**MissTwisties** · 09-18-05, 09:30 PM

If it's only %30 of rain, don't even be worry...it probably won't rain. Altho the Berkshires/Vermont seem to have it's own weather, 30% from experience means NO RAIN. I've missed quiet a few rides for no reason trusting that it would rain, and it didn't. Have fun everyone!

(we're also going to ride on either Saturday or Sunday...maybe we'll bump into you guys who knows)

**mycirus** · 09-19-05, 10:01 AM

As you can see there is some rain in Mass, but VT is wide open. I will ride in the rain to get where there is none.

Well I have tried to get a sitter with no luck. I really wanted to attend this ride, and go up with you Chip.

And no...I can't put the kids in the closet...
