6:15am, Sunday, PyZahl got up to prepare for the usual ride. He stepped outside to check the temperature, it felt pretty warm, not even freezing as expected for the early morning, about +2C, but a disturbing rustling noise came to his attention, it all looked still fine and dry, but what was that -- it was still dark. he picked one of his TripleFire bike lights and pointed it outside: Weired, some hail or sleet like stuff was falling down on all the leaves and making the funny noise. So what is that now all about? The forecast did not said anything about that stuff before late noon the night before. He woke up his computer and checked NOAA's radar -- indeed, the forecast changed to a chance of wet stuff for all day, but the radar looked promising, just a few tiny blue spots, nothing big or any severe rain storms in sight at all. Little undecided, he turned on his Espresso maker... usual morning procedure, he thought lets get ready and see how it develops...
7:31am -- by the time that stuff had stopped coming down -- it was just enough to get the roads wet, that sucks, was all so nice and dry before. However, he rode to the usual meeting point and everyone seamed not to care too much, as the whole group grew to about 15 today, nice.
No early group showed up -- who cares.
And yes, this is Trevors ride #5 -- last Sunday's cold and windy and snowy morning with a white cover on the roads actually hold them all back home.
They
rolled out, they worked and stayed nicely all together, and on the way east on North Country Chris joined the group.
Here at the only stop and quick reassembly after the hill on North Wading River Road:
Good constant pace, nice teamwork today, no one got dropped.
Good ride back home with Chris on NC :-)
