Have a good ride guys and gals ,but if there is a good chance of bad weather as Zombie has stated ,be real carefull or leave it for another day . Dont get me wrong ,i and us in QLD dont call rides off unless the safety factor looks to be threatened.As is the case tomorrow. Better off enjoying the day inside than inside a bad storm . Been there myself dont worry about that . Cheers Ray

I'm still game. Forecast says showers, so it's definitely not as bad as all out rain, but yeah, I agree with Ray....it might not be a good idea to venture out in it, especially for less experienced riders. It'll likely be grey & miserable as all sh!t too, so if we still giving it a green light, that coffee at Bizzy Bird's better be proper hot & ready to go.

Just looked at BOM .. predictions are for showers. My thoughts are to give it til tomorrow and if it's looking bad then we'll postpone it til next month. The reason I've left it so late is that they have been predicting rain here for the last two or three weeks and we've had none. The other thing tho is that the wind has been awsome, I'd actually rather ride in rain than the kinds of winds we've had lately (our shed blew over the back fence last friday night .. that was interesting).
So this is how it stands, we'll leave it for one more day and see what happens .. keeping in mind that you guys are closer to where the weather has actually been bad lately please let me know if it's too bad for you .. we seem to be heading for another drought out this way so it's less about us. It's all about having fun remember so as Ray and Tex have said it's better to leave it if it looks too miserable or unsafe.

We all get to do 90 now Yep that's right Louie, k's can only do 80 and p's 90 which I think is a bit silly but I can Olson see some wisdom in it when you are talking about kids getting their first bikes who think they are indestructible and that they.have to go as fast as the bike can go whether they can handle it or not. It dies make things a bit dangerous if you have to ride on a high way though as you then have to deal with faster moving traffic, around here that traffic is notoriously impatient. I don't understand your rule about the escort rider either ... How on earth that helps a new rider in practical terms i'm not sure .. tho I'll admit while I was learning (and I still am) I rarely went anywhere without Terry along, but that was really just a moral support kinda thing ... It was comforting to know there was someone there to help me pick up the bike

The sun is trying to get out & we're getting showers, but it's not constant. It's actually not that bad. No need to get the oars out or anything. Probably best to see how it turns tonight. I'll play weatherman again later

If still bad, can still be a meet by car. Just a thought.

Tis a shame but watching the weather today and with more storms forcast for tomorrow the unpredictablitly of it all is just too much of a risk. So this ride is being called off for now. Next question is what's the best date in the next month for people, Cray and I are free any weekend so it's up to you guys again. When we get a date that suits I'll start a new thread and pop it into the calendar

Good call. I won't even drive in this unless I absolutely have to.
I reckon schedule it sooner rather than later. Probably not practical for a lot of people, but if you schedule too far ahead, there's a good chance it'll fall on a weekend with weather like this again. Just annoying that we had 3-4 clear, beautiful weekends & it caves in on a scheduled meet.

Did you go to your bike show thingy today Tex? Yes I did. Was a bit disappointed, but it was still an ok outing. Gotta get the photos off the camera. Will try tonight.
