OK... ya'll are startin to worry me with this rain issue! I am not lookin forward to drivin all the way up there to sit out the weather in a freakin hotel room~ I'll keep my eyes on the radar, and forcast for the area, but if it's lookin like there is gonna be 100% percipitation in the area, I'll be staying here in this 90* heat~ I let ya'll know, for sure, by Friday evening... or early Saturday if I decide to stick around here or if I'm gonna make the trip~

I wouldn't worry too much about the chance of rain. It's only a 30% chance and if it does show, will likely be only brief and spotty.

If the numbers allow, my wife and I have been dying to get out of Atlanta and see some of the backroads. I've just retired from the Navy and I'm back in GA for good...I hope. I've only been riding for a year after a 15 year lay off, I'm no slow poke but blazing speeds tend to cut down on the sight seeing for me (eyes are getting old I guess). Anyhow, I'll monitor this thread for responses and a firmed up meeting time and place. Hope to meet everyone soon.

Congrats on your retirement, NavyChief! [8D]

I hear ya, GAGirl... that's about how "30% chance" works around these parts as well~ Typical rule of thumb goes.. 30% stay home, no rain.. 30% go for a ride, it's gonna rain! I'll probably attempt it just for the chance to meet some of the members here anyhow... well see~

Hey Chief! Welcome aboard, Shipmate! I'm retired Navy myself (Feb '05). Honestly though, I do miss it. Had some GREAT times and have someGREAT friends. Hope you can make the trip. Would be nice to talk "Navy" again.

David and I rode to Forsyth just to make sure it would take us 30 mins. Took 26 minsto be exact. Think I will ride commando this Sunday.......meaning no windshield. [sm=smiley9.gif]Felt sooooooo good!

It was 30% chance of rain on sunday and now is 40%. We shall see it might be hit or miss. Is everyone able to ride if its light rain? Or do we want to try next weekend?

I've been caught by the rain before while riding. Makes me a little tense, but I can deal with it. It's not getting wet that bothers me, it's being on 2 wheels on a wet surface. My fingers are crossed that it won't rain on us.

We're still planning on being there. We just slow way down when it rains or look for a spot to hang out for a bit 'til it passes.
