The rain won't be over till at least Tuesday. There's a huge L pressure cell in the Gulf and it's pulling up huge moisture from there and dumping it on Florida.

This afternoon, it was overcast, and I could have sworn it was going to rain.
I went to work in full gear, just in case it rained.
It seemed like it never did.
The ride home tonight was cool, and I can see some clouds in the sky.
I have tomorrow off, and I wanted to ride up 27 to Lake Ockechobee (did I spell that right).
But we have a 50% of rain tomorrow, and I would prefer not to ride on
wet roads that I do not know.
So I may just try to wash it down tomorrow, and chill out for the day

Well after all was said and done, the rain stopped about 5:20, at 6PM we went over but all hte vendors had packed up and gone. Only ab out 100-150 bilkes showed.

Well there is always next month. Heck for that fact there always a bikefest somewhere in the bay area!
