All, please check the DMF one last time before heading out on Sunday given the unpredictability of weather on Sunday.

FWIW, regardless of the forecast, the rest of the Suspects and I will still be riding... even if it's already raining as we leave the house. The last ride we did we had to sit out a thunderstorm at a gas station for about an hour but after that we had some of the best riding of all time. If you still want to go riding regardless of the weather (cause it ain't gonna be raining everywhere at the same time even if it does rain), then let me know before Sunday as I won't be checking this thread anytime after Saturday evening.

[CDawg]

I'll be riding since the weather is suppose to be good in the morning.  Tried out some fun roads the morning for the PIP group!

Hope everyone can make it!

[goldenchild]

Hope everyone can make it!

After some back and forth with the other US's we determined...

We're still rolling and will still be meeting up at Gorilla at the expressed time (8am) regardless of what the weather is doing. See you all there.

[mookieo2]

there is only a 30 or 40% chance of rain and we know how accurate the forecasts have been. going up to 60% around 8. it shouldn`t be bad. Any tips on what to bring for a long ride home in the rain.

Rain gear, extra pair of gloves, towel, waterproof boots or jackets.

Extra helmet shield.... if you start with a dark visor.  Chances are it WILL get dark on a US ride, having a clear visor is extremely helpful.

Also - KNOW YOUR LIMITS.  If you aren't comfortable doing something, then DON'T DO IT.  The list of people joining the Goldenchild led ride is 50-75% above the ususal 6-8 person ride, but the rules still apply.  RIDE YOUR OWN RIDE.  You should NEVER feel any pressure to ride a certain speed, or a certain pace.  Do what you need, the group will re-form at major turns and stops.

Some of the US use iPods  - if you do, that will be a big help on the slab home.

Although, I don't know how much the ride home will be on slab...

Last update from me...

We're still going to heading out no matter the forecast might say, no matter if it's already raining here in NYC/Bklyn. Those of us that are meeting at Gorilla are still meting at Gorilla. Bikes roll out from Gorilla at 8:30am SHARP. If you'd like to sample some of their amazing espresso, please show up earlier like me. Please also show up with a full tank and tires checked...

[rcpete]

rain or shine ill see you all at port Jervis.  [moto]

[SRduc]

I'll be at PIP 7-7:30 ready to roll.
MJlandy will be there, too.

[CDawg]

It's 6am and the sky's looks good!  See ya'll at Jervis.
