Social Ride Cancelation
by dpssmith＠aol.com 06 Jan '13

06 Jan '13

Hello everyone, It is with a heavy heart I'm canceling the official Social Ride. Road conditions here in Westlake are extremely wet. That was the bad news however unofficially there is still the possibility of a ride. The Doppler doesn't look to bad. Lots of spotty little showers and by 9:00 the chance of rain has been reduced to 50%. We may want to modify the route to accommodate the weather. Who's up for a little dampness? Dale
