Started my trek west: Albany, NY to Syracuse, NY this morning for two and a half days work, then meeting up with Iris, Jim, Fred & Jack? in State College, PA Wednesday night. Well Fred & Jack have bowed out due to bad weather forecast and Iris and Jim are worried about getting their new beautiful bikes dirty, so if I make it to Ohio will anyone be there? Hey Iris & Jim, maybe TopSpeed will volunteer to wash your bikes in Ohio. I've seen him wash a bike and he does a real good job.

wow, I didn't realize how cold it was going to be up there, I may have to re-think what riding gear we take....and remind Brenda to pack extra socks and a jacket. It was in the 80's here over the weekend and the heavy rain that is forecast there just passed through here today.

 

[luvtoride]

Sorry to hear of your departure from the meet, Fred. I guess we'll have to have a beer together some other time. I'm going whatever the weather. Look... you change your plans & it'll end up being beautiful. Murphys Law you know.

It has been decided, though. I'm wearing my winter gear.

Where are you finding that info, Ray? I'm looking @ Weather Underground & they're showing low 60's for the weekend.

 

[08FJR4ME]

Yes the ride down will most likely suck but I am not deterred. The rest of the weekend once I get there looks good. Sorry to here you cancel Fred but there is plenty of time to hook up later this year.

Never trust weather underground. It has failed me to many times.

Still warmer temps than we've seen thus far this year. IN!

Rain or shine, there will be riders there...

Yes, the Canadians will be there. You haven't seen weather suck until you've lived in Canada...no big mystery why the Canadian population hugs the USA border.

The weather may suck, but it will suck less than being "up there". The Canadians will be there.

Canada is a great country, and most that I have met have been great people...they just happen to be just stuck in the worst weather on the North American continent.

The Canadians will be there...and will laugh at the rain.

Besides, there's no hockey left for them to watch anyways, right?

Rain or shine, there will be riders there...

Yep,I'll be there.

I will be one of them!

I rode all day Saturday in on/off heavy rains. Sunday it was nice, so I cut down a dead tree from the past Winters grasp, threw my back out.. but, I'm still in for the Ramble. I may need to see a chiro-cracker-backer tho. Fred's weather forecast wasn't much pain relief either.

Based on what you rode with to CFR last summer, a bad back shouldn't slow you down too much!

 

[Allen_C]

I will be there too!

Yep, we'll be there.

It's looking like we're gonna be staying at the Super 8 across the street Friday night unless a room opens up at Ramble Central.

A mans balls shouldn't clack together when he walks.

I've had very good luck with them in the past.
