Note: 6pm starting this week, for ALL weekday rides.
Update, Tues. 3:10pm: The radar is looking pretty bad right now, good chance ride will be cancelled. Will make call by 4pm.
Update 4pm: Ride officially cancelled, radar looking uncertain. If it's clear enough, I'll be riding and will swing by the meeting spot at 6pm to meet whoever still wants to ride.

4 individuals turned up for an epic Tuesday ride. The 5:30 radar made it look like the worst would be over by 6:00, I guess even a radar can be wrong. While reaching the pinnacle of 6th line we discovered that the previously paved and beautiful surface was transformed into a nasty combination of tar and stone. Luckily this was only on the last gruelling part of the climb (it did continue to 15th Sideroad). Unfortunately the tar was still somewhat fresh and helped the stones stick to tires, brakes, glasses, skin, and teeth. Eventually a tar stricken stone caused a puncture (only one). Lastly, after the hammerfest I learned one more reason to shave legs, It makes washing tar off easier. All of this on ride that was cancelled, and on an evening when the wife and kids were away, giving me too much free time.
I will go it is okay as well
It’s weird though as the radar has been showing rain since 2 but it has not hit us.
Aug 278th? Looking forward to this ride… 35 weeks from now… 🙂
