Hi All:
The Accuweather forecast looks like a pretty certain chance of rain
in our area during our normal riding time tomorrow.

As an alternative plan - I might consider riding this route around 1:00pm
 to allow time for the rain to stop and roads to dry up somewhat.
Any other Red/Orange Riders interested?
