POSTPONED TO SUNDAY May-20 (Weather): 2018 Spring Epic Ride (AL-Z-Heimer Memorial Ride) - May 19, 2018

[wolfeman28]

Sunday now? Cool, I'll be there. Medium-Fast.

I'm going to trailer the trailer queen down, I have another spot if anyone doesn't want to ride there...

[zx3vfr]

Will be there now. Saturday I was going to bail because no children or wife and I was going to scrub carpets. 

[durk]

Can’t make Sunday. I’m out. Speed safely guys. 

[thompsonian]

I should be able to make it Sunday. If someone wants to run a Medium-Slow group I'll lead. My definition of Med-Slow is around 10-15+ straights and neighborhood of +5 - 10 in turns.

You do remember last weekend, when they called for 90% chance of rain both Saturday and Sunday and it was dry as a bone? You can't make rain out decisions more than 12 hours in advance, this time of year. You have to base it off of the existing radar.

Just my 2 cents.

Normally I would agree... and if it was just rain, I'd consider it.  I've been watching it for the last week... It's only gotten worse on Saturday as the week went on and it's listing Thunderstorms all day.  

If you disagree with my decision to cancel, feel free to hop on your bike and go for a ride... But I'm not going to host an event and ask people to show with the risk of thunderstorms and rain the entire day.  Sunday was equally as bad as Saturday for most of the week, but as we approached today, it's gotten much better on Sunday which is why I postponed it to that day.

That's why I'm heading down tonight and plan on riding all day if doesn't storm like crazy.

Tempting, although the street legal bike I have right now is a Tiger 800. I can rail it, but it just isn't the same.

I understand why you did what you did, made the call you made. And I know you have a tough job, and I don’t blame you.

I just have a hard time placing all decision making on some percentages that are impossible to interpret, and are consistently completely wrong.

Last weekend was a perfect example, at least in Central Ohio. Thunderstorms were called for all weekend with chances no less than 80-90%. And it didn’t rain a drop.

 It may rain all day tomorrow, and be beautiful Sunday. Hopefully it is. I just think radar is a better predictor than Vegas style odds, and would make the call later. 

All good though.

May be in for Sunday. Dunno if races will happen tomorrow to be honest, with the forecast looking the way it does. They won't run in lightning.

You’ll have a ball on the Tiger. I wouldn’t worry about that at all. I’d expect a few cruisers, ADV bikes, etc. We break up into groups based on pace. It’s a blast.

I’m here.....

Anyone that feels like braving the weather tomorrow or just coming down to drink/fish, send me or @marlboro man a PM.

The shack misses you. The area wildlife do not.
