N. Alabama/Tenn. Street Ride Saturday 7-21-18

[klaviator]

The weather forecast for Saturday just changed from 80% chance of thunderstorms to only 20% and a nice and "cool" 87 degrees.  Looks like a good time for another street ride :)

Meet:    Mapco in Gurley
When:   8:15 meet, 8:30 Kick Stands Up.

I'm making this a little earlier to beat the heat a bit.  We will ride twisty back roads up into Tennessee and have lunch in Lynchburg.  More riding after lunch and then back to Alabama.  I will be on my scooter again so the pace will be moderately sporty but as always; ride at your own pace and we will re group at all turns.

Tentatively, I'm in. Wifey needs to sleep in, I doubt if she'll join us.

Possible if my back recovers from the trip to NC mtns.  Guess I was riding to tight in the good stuff!

Would love it, but have to work :-[

[Frank Smith]

Tentative changed to definate. See you in the morning

[Johnny Tobyone]

Can't make it today :(

Weather looks menacing. Are we still a go?

Weather looks menacing. Are we still a go?

The weather radar looks like it will all pass through in a couple of hours.  Forecast calls for chance of T storms all day.  What do you think?

[klaviator]

It's dry over here, is it raining by you?

[Frank Smith]

 I don't mind rain. Radar shows a lot of activity due north in the area you want to go, but it's moving through. It is supposed to clear out across the region as the day progresses. 

[Frank Smith]

I have light rain now where I live

Riding twisties isn't that much fun if the roads are wet.  Let's push back the meeting to 9 and see what the weather does.  that will also give the roads some time to dry.   

[Frank Smith]

Ok, 9 it is

[klaviator]

Weather radar is looking good so I'll see you at 9.  I will probably shorten the ride from what i originally planned but we'll still do Lynchburg for lunch.  We'll check the weather then and decide on an afternoon route.

Sounds good
