What is the deal with Tuesdays lately. Bringing the thunder.

[REDFOX]

Should be a nice and cool ride.

[accadacca]

Heavy rain here and more on the way... http://radar.weather.gov/radar.php?r...01111&loop=yes

I am sitting on the fence. Maybe we should bail....looks nasty.

[PunchKing]

We should reschedule. I am okay with skipping out tonight though. I have seen enough lightening to scare me. I know it is a punk thing to do but we should hit the trail later this week.

[PunchKing]

Just to be clear. I am going to no show tonight. I am sceered of the lightening. I can go anytime this week though.

[accadacca]

Yeah and do you remember last time we rode clarks in the rain? No thanks!

[accadacca]

I'm out too. Nasty stuff out over the desert headed this way.

Man, should have came up to ogden with me, ended up riding 13 miles and climbing 2000 feet plus the rain never made it that far and it was in the high 70's. Only ran into three other people riding, one of them about got a Contador backfist to the face cause he scared the shit out of me coming up from behind and didn't say a word...LOL
