Week 5, 60 miler, 14 mph — POSTPONED!

Hmm.  I don’t know if we’ve ever canceled because of the wind before!   Josie said  we have.   This is a tough ride anyway because of the wind at Smith Point.  I never should have written that we’ve had calm winds on all of the rides so far!  Today it’s 25 – 35 mph per hour winds —  gusts to 50 and a wind advisory from the National Weather Service.  I’ll kick myself if I’m wrong, but the blue blob of rain on the map  looks like it can miss us.   I’ll feel better if it actually start raining again!

Josie has been sick all week and it looks like I got it back the last two days too, so I’m feeling more cautious than usual.  I talked myself out of it!  Not feeling well probably pushed me.

Last year we got stuck in a wind and rain storm while we were at Smith Point.  We got lucky and waited out the rain under the pavilion.

Our first call was to a rider who lives on Fire Island– she said IMPOSSIBLE!  I fell a little better!

Tomorrow is supposed to be nice, but we have plans already.  Grrrrr.

Make sure you ride during the week!
