Where too in the NE??

OK, it's starting to look a lot like Christmas now! We got 30" of fresh snow yesterday on top of the 10" we had and this morning it's 9 degrees outside. I probably won't be riding or washing my bike today.
If you think we have it bad you should see the poor deer. Not only do they have snow above their chest but they are now leaving tracks in the snow with 4 hoffs and 2 testicles.

The 26 is now starting to look doubtful. Maybe we should start looking seriously at April 2 ?

Ok by me.....the 26th shows rain/snow and 40 degrees. I was out either way.

AHHH, Wayne your getting old!!

I remember a guy who rode all the way back to MA. in a torrential downpour just to prove his insanity.

This mornings forecast is for temps in the 50's for next Saturday and a possibility for 60's on Sunday the 26. That would make it ridable except for the 3 feet of snow and what we are going to do with the run off. That does make Sunday April 2 sound much better.

Now we just have to find out who among the remaining fools, left over from the day before, are willing to ride with us on April 2.

Damn Icons are still not working

I always said, don't change the ride for me. That ride in the rain is the reason for my decision! We have rain forecast and 40's for next Sunday. If it changes, and it is 60, I'll be in. Have to wait a few more days.

I'm still in just let me know what Sunday.

It will definitely be the first sunny Sunday with temps above 59 degrees. I can only suggest you check in every Wednesday for a definite "maybe"!

Now if we could just get a few others to commit to maybes.

Your decisions are obviously based on experience and pain. We thank you and honor you by willingly changing our plans to avoid the pains you have endured.
That's how we chickens learn without ruffling our feathers.

The forecast for today is sunny with temps in the 40's. Perfect for some cross country skiing and finishing off the corn beef and cabbage leftovers. And maybe even a beer or 2. Not so much for bike riding but that fun will come!

Looking pretty glum up this way. Friday is 90% chance of snow with 1 - 3 inches. Friday night 100% chance of junk. Saturday is 70% a.m. rain/snow. Saturday night clearing late with the temps a balmy 29*. If this report holds true through the weekend I'll have to pass. I don't mind dressing in layers trying to keep warm, but I don't want to look like the Michelin Man either. My initial plan was to ride down Saturday and grab a room in Matamoras. Then meet with you guys on 4/2. I like to allow 6 - 7 hours from NH to there. Since my operation hopefully my bathroom breaks will be fewer. Hopefully the forecast will change.

My forecast looks better than that. Rain Friday and Saturday and so far Sunday is hanging at 53 and some clouds. No snow. It's gonna be cold to start. I'm so hopped on a ride that as of now I'm planning on it. I totally understand your position. If my end gets worse, I'll be out too.

I can not make Sunday's ride, my plans got interrupted by the medical field. Hope to be up and running soon. Enjoy the ride, post some pics of what I'm missing.
