Wed 8/10 C Ride - Statistically Unlikely

There is an approximate 1-in-20 billion chance that the radar will be clear and the roads dry at 6pm.

If that miracle happens, there will be a group ride today (right after I buy a lotto ticket) and I will post here announcing it by 5:30. If you see nothing posted, the ride is not happening.

Carey -- Any chance you could post the "Go/No Go" alert a little earlier (by 5:15 or so) for the benefit of those coming from farther away or riding to the ride?

It's a no go.

Looking out the window it's tempting, but radar shows showers popping up out of thin air and I expect that to increase over the next couple hours.

I'm gonna head to C'ville. Nothin' big on radar this side of Harrisburg. If a shower happens, it happens.

As it happens, that which happened was (a) that it didn't rain (yet); but (b) my rear der cable snapped en route so I headed home on a jury-rigged two-speed Hope no one set out to meet up with me, but if anyone did, it was a nice evening for a ride and there was very little pedestrian traffic on the bike path. Got a nice photo to post on Strava.

Yes, I blew the forecast. Sorry, folks.

Now can I have a job as a meteorologist? My prediction record is every bit as good as the guys with degrees and nice hair.

Carey, you made the appropriate call. ALWAYS better to be safe.
