I've got a new setup Motorola MU350 bluetooth to Sena w/wired PTT. Methinks you used Ch. 3 in the past?.......

On channel 15 / 0 right now - Julie will have my MU350 connected to Sena, I've got a spare connected. Seems to be less local chatter on 15 vs 3.

Well If I did come in Thursday night there would have been a wet spot looking at the weather. If I am going to ride in rain I prefer it to be at least somewhat light out. And why did you take my "wet spot" comment so grossly out of context. That is so out of character for this forum!^^^BTW I have already made the call. I am not leaving until Friday morning. Thanks for the offer, though. Josh will be relieved to know his bed is safe for now.
That's good to hear. I was fretting over how to bring the nuclear/biohazard suit.
I figured it could double as a rain suit for some of the crybabies whining about getting wet if it rains!!⛈️

As of Wed morning, here's what the weather looks like IN Marietta.
Thur: temp 64-82, chance of a heavy thunderstorm AFTER 5pm. partly cloudy before that. dew point 60-66. Looks like a good day to ride, but get settled by 5-6pm.
Fri: temp 62-73. Overnight rain tapers off and quits completely by 9am. Cloudy in morning sunny afternoon. Dew point starts out about 60 & goes down to about 47. Looks like a good day to ride, just a bit of damp pavement in the morning.
Sat: Forecast says RAIN, but a closer look says .03" /hr till 11am, then .01" /hr till 2pm. Those are HUNDREDTHS of an inch.That's not enough to ruin anyone's day. temps 55-61, dew point around 50.
Sun: Partly cloudy & dry, temps 45-60, dew point in the low 40s.
Dew point is a humidity measure. Anything below 60 is dry & refreshing, 65 is starting to get stuffy, 70 and above is muggy.
For those who put all their eggs in the Saturday basket, you need to give serious consideration to doing 4 day weekends instead of 3. You get twice as much riding time at the rally, so your chances of having some good riding weather are much better.

They won't melt, but maybe they are afraid they are water-soluble and will dissolve! +1 on not washing the bike, though I'll clean the bugs off the windshield. See, this is a low maintenance event. Another plus!
Poll question: Does using an event hotel with an expensive cancellation policy help or hinder attendance?
Norm Kern
You could reserve using their regular rates with full cancellation rights OR save $ by prepaying and relinquish refund rights at this hotel.
I will be there Thursday, ride Friday and Saturday, return home Sunday. I do not purposely ride in the rain but if it does rain a little while I'm somewhere, watching the radar usually allows you to select a route that will minimize the chance of getting wet.

My schedule was a little off this year, but I was down in Marietta this past weekend. There was a lot of rain in the area, but the roads were as great as ever. 26 is still one of my favorites. Have fun this weekend!!!!!

If you guys don't mind, I'd like to check in this thread during my own ride. I think it would be cool to share adventure tidbits.

Norm,
I'll see you Thurs. night, (The good Lord willing and the creeks don't rise.)
I'm in for Friday as well. I'll try to keep up.

**UPDATE**
I'm still IN!
Lil John just asked me if I was pussying out because some possible rain. The forecast seems to have gotten a little better, and some rain has never stopped us before!?!?!?
---------------
So for the North down crew?.... Be at the Kennedy Street Cafe in Bradford PA no later than 9am! (Thursday). And... Trevor is showing up, it never rains when he's there. 'Nuff Said
I have Linner planned at the infamous FbJ (Food by Jane). No slab, no Pittsburgh

It's also the Mid Ohio Valley....the weather will change at the last minute as well. More than likely folks will be dry. I'm still planning on making it up to the hotel on Thursday evening, barring a total deluge. Also not sure if my weekend plans are still on or not, so I'm questionable for the weekend, but am hoping to at least get out for half the day Friday before I need to go home and pack for VA.

I will be there Friday around noonish.
This is ohio. If you can't ride in the rain move to the desert.

This is good stuff - it involves more planning than I usually do . . . but we will see some good roads that would have been missed otherwise. The wife is balking some at the rain in the forecast, so the scenic overlook might just smooth things out a bit. And I like your directions just fine- we shall see if I can follow them . . .
