quick caveat, a friend of mine's cousin's wife died recently (couple weeks ago) when her and her husband hydroplaned. Yes, caution should be taken, but here's the point... what's the worst case? We leave from our homes and make it 10 miles and it's a torrential downpour... you turn around and go home. Or we ride to WV and it's a tornado... we grab a quick hotel stay and one and done. The point is, as long as we have a decent group planning on going... it'll be fun, riding in the rain aint that bad as long as you're not trying to go 100.
