Regarding today's ride - 8/12 at 7:00 a.m. There is a chance of severe thunderstorms rolling in at 10:00 a.m. I believe we can ride a couple of hours safely, but strongly recommend that you not attempt the full metric unless of course you can finish one in less than 3 hours. 😎
I will continue to monitor the storm system - we may have to make a different decision closer to ride time - but for now - I believe we can safely get in the shorter rides.
