I wasn't asking for advice on how to make OR great again.

This time of year, especially in the mountains, all weather forecasters can do is throw a dart at a board with numbers between 5 and 100 and roll with where they land. It's the summer, it's humid.....it will rain. Any more precision than that isn't possible. I will say.....last year was a sucky, wet mess. Just hoping we avoid it this year. But changing 6 month old plans based on a crappy forecast is like cashing in your retirement based on the recommendation of Dr. Phil.

Rip me a new one Dr Bubby, it will make you feel better. Bring it on, I can take it! im just glad you have a bike and are coming down with us. Gonna be a blast!

I’ve bailed on epic rides cause of weather the day of. I’ve also seen epic rides cancelled 36 hours beforehand due to the forecast and the weather was fine. All I can say is in a 5 day trip, we are almost guaranteed to get wet...but also will definitely get plenty of good riding in. The ratio matters and hopefully it’s much more of the latter. But I’m fairly sure it’s going to be a good trip no matter what.

I guess a lot of folks around here would cash in their retirement based on Dr. Phil then. You’ve been around here longer than I have, but I’ve rode more than 1 epic ride where folks bailed based on the forecast. I don’t need perfect weather buddy, just decent. When I go on trips like this I’m all about riding. I don’t mind hanging out talking for a little while, but remember I’m a math teacher. Read-social skills are subpar. I struggle just sitting around too. I’ll give it another day and see what it looks like.

I should not have checked this during a conference call. Laughed quite audibly when I read that

Perfect weather = great riding and hanging with my friends. Crappy weather = talking about great riding and hanging with my friends. Neither of which involve work. Sounds like a perfect vacation to me.

Yea that totally adds up to 165% chance. What are they thinking

You're right. That is a dick move. It must have been a runner.

I'm a cyclist and I always fill the level back up with water.

Me too Yamaha Doc. Let ‘er rip. Typos or not, you can ride with me any time. Glad you’ll be down there with us!

I'm ready!!!! Everything is loaded and just need to mow the yard tomorrow. I am indeed bringing the Connie and will be headed to the Outerbanks sunday after check out. This is my final thing to finish my trip prep...

Knowing Doc, he probably hasn't slept in a week in anticipation. He's doing the best he can, cut a guy a break!

Last time we changed our route to avoid a storm on radar that never came. You're better off watching the sky than the forecast.

Crappy weather equals good reason to day drink

Throw rocks at it for an hour, douse in quick detailer, dry with weedwacker.

Maybe that has something to do with the small turnout at The fucking Catalina wine mixer NEO meat and greet extravaganza last month.

Thank God some brilliant mod unlocked this thread for all this entertainment that was to be had.

Awe, man... I do NOT need another Duc.

Ask for advice>>reject advice>>shit show>>claim you weren't looking for advice>>I told you so>>retard Did I get that right? I wasn't paying that close of attention.

I pay less than $400/year total for 2 bikes with State Farm. As you might have guessed I have a few speeding tickets.

I beat it against rocks while I'm still wearing it.

It was the cyclist or the runner.

My friend Danimal, it seems like all you do when logging in from remote parts of the world is to post a genuine update about your trip and to just shit on everything I post or just generally poke fun of something silly. I don’t know what I have done to you and honestly at this point I don’t care. I am not perfect and I am just an average rider who probably doesn’t measure up to the globe trotting skills of yours. So brother with all due respect just let me be.
