I didn't notice much wind heading South from 92 and Canada, and then I didn't notice wind at all heading back North - which is normally when I expect to feel it. I looked at my Garmin and I was doing at least 2 mph faster, from the 280 underpass all the way to 92. Then, when I turned around at 92, I really felt it!

Oh, for the love of..... This is getting ridiculous!
It's over a week away, so they may be wrong, but that would make FOUR MONTHS IN A ROW!!!

One word for you from the PNW: fenders

Unfortunately there was a measure passed a few years ago in California banning the transport of bicycle fenders in and out of the state. I believe the justification was to reduce drugs that were being smuggled in on vintage bikes from the north. The law was poorly written so it encompasses even the sale of fenders only.

I'm considering filing suit with the state of California, as I was promised this:
@bikingshearer, I see a class action lawsuit.

Just noticed this seems to be close to home. I'm in HMB. Is this ride still occurring regularly?

Yes we still are meeting regularly. Unfortunately most of us don’t take our vintage bikes out in the rain so it has been canceled the last few months. The next ride is looking possible, but there is a chance of rain, so it may get canceled.

So next one is 3/4 if not pissing down rain? Probably bring out the wall climber.

Yes, this Saturday is the next scheduled ride. Usually there’s discussion the day or two before on who’s going (and the weather). Currently the forecast is looking better. Hope to see you there.

Hi Guys, I hope to join you on for this ride one of these days when the timing is right with my schedule. Meanwhile, can someone share a Strava ride that matches the cue sheet? I want to check it out to see if I can keep up with you all. 
Thanks.
Thanks.

As for tomorrow? Honestly, it almost looks like the rain is designed to cancel the ride. Here's Weather Underground's prediction for tomorrow morning/early afternoon:

I've been monitoring Weather Underground all week. I kept hoping the 4-5 hours of rain predicted for Saturday AM would shift one way or the other. Still hasn't happened. I'll make a decision if I'm going to do the ride tomorrow morning based on the latest forecast.

I'm going to pass on this one. I hope to sneak in a ride in the afternoon if the gods allow, but it does not look like the morning is a good enough bet to justify driving down from Berkeley.
I'll be out of town for the April ride, so May is the next possibility for me.

I’m going to bail also. I’m hoping to get out after the rain also.

Current chance of rain is about 60%. Last month, I rode when the chance of rain was 9%. And I got soaked.

As of 11 AM, it's raining and windy AF here in San Mateo. We made the right call. I'll ride in the rain, but I have a CF bike for that.
EDIT: Update - Now there's some thunder, too.

Since we couldn't ride, I bought another Paramount this morning. We better get these rides going again or I'm going to run out of room.

Okay, gang. Weather Underground says tomorrow's weather should be "Partly Cloudy", with no more than a 3% chance of precipitation during the ride. I'll see y'all at the rock wall, 10 AM, even in the unlikely event of rain.
I'm bringing the Ironman, unless it rains, in which case I'll bring the un-rustable Cannondale. But I'll be there, regardless.
