Gang,
Lynn just warned me that as of March 1, there is only valet parking up in Baytowne Wharf. I didn't know that. (When did that start?) So let's meet in the parking lot on the south side of Emerald Coast Parkway (new #98) near the main Sandestin entrance. That would be the east end of Market Shops. We'll bike beachside first and then head under #98 up into bayside for our 10 miles and we'll still eat at Another Broken Egg around 11:30-11:45AM.
Remember to meet by 10:30AM! I can't get into www.weather.com right now. The website appears "broken up." Must be having problems. So I can't see the latest prediction on when the rain will start or if we'll have a windy morning, both of which would cancel the ride.
I'll keep checking up until about 8AM tomorrow morning and modify this post if we have to cancel. Be sure you all check this post on our blog tomorrow, too!
If you get a chance to RSVP on the blog, please do.
Barbara, et al,
ReplyDeleteI checked Weather Underground, www.wunderground.com, and it shows that the rain will be starting at 6 a.m. tomorrow. I suppose you could wait until tomorrow morning and cancel based on what you see in the morning. If you decide to go, and it is NOT raining, I will be there.

Hi fellow bikers:
ReplyDeleteI would have done a "group hug" had I known today was my last ride with Barbara, at least. I have a mahjong game scheduled for tomorrow, so won't be there; Ken will not have transportation. He is FEELING FINE, and will do a 30A ride if the weather holds out. If anyone can do a ride early next week, please contact us! Today was fun. Thankx again, Andersons, Roger, and Diane. Safe travels Barbara. You're the best!
{{virtual hug}} Amy! You guys take care and we'll see you either in MN if that materializes or here next winter!
DeleteOk, gang. Weather.com is up and running and says only 10% chance of rain by 6AM going up to 20% chance through the morning and up to 30% chance at 3PM. Don't know which weather prediction is usually more accurate (thanks for the info, Ken!) so we'll wait to decide until morning. Check an hour before the ride to see if we are on.
ReplyDelete5:30AM Update: www.weather.com is still predicting 5% - 20% chance of rain throughout today. Winds are predicted to be about 13mph when we bike. Might be a tad windy, but we might get some protection in parts of Sandestin. (We don't usually cancel rides for wind unless it's at least 15mph.) As of now, we are still "on" but I'll make a final post on the blog an hour before (about 9:30AM.)
ReplyDeleteWE'RE ON! According to www.weather.com, chances are extremely slim for rain when we ride and it should be mid-to-high 60's! See you in Market Shops parking lot at 10:30AM!
ReplyDeleteSee you there
