Latest forecast calls for rain...

Of course most of the roads are still salty from the snow last weekend...

Unless we get a good rain between now and then and it improves, I'm prolly not goin'.

Not exactly.

We ride up (north) the MN side. Looks like it may be a nice day this year too!

Yeah, we had planned to ride up with 9-12 bikes and do an overnighter. I don't think the weather is going to be on our side.

Well, on the bright side, we'll have had plenty of rain to wash the salt off... Half an inch at the house today.

On the not-as-bright side, 50-60% chance of rain on Saturday depending on if you follow yahoo or wunderground...

To be prepared, I just got my dyno-tune done this morning in Faribault. You will all know with the weather this morning at 7am it was a painful ride from St. Paul down, and I got caught in a bit of rain in Faribault coming back. Did a quick wash and polished the bike up this afternoon and the wife and I are ready to go.

I'm starting with a group from Newmans. We meet there at 11am.
