The pounding of the rain kept us up until about 2:00, when it finally let up a bit. Not good. Queen Bee and \u2018It\u2019s All Downhill\u2019 hit the road at 5:30 this morning with ambitions of trying to ride 110 miles to make up for the delay I caused (I seem to have a knack for that). I planned to get going as soon as it was light enough to see, but last night\u2019s rain scared me. Unlike the other two, I don\u2019t have a strict time constraint. The chance for rain today is higher than yesterday; I\u2019m sticking around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around 9:00, I received a text from the Queen Bee; it read:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Roads are BAD. First 15 miles unrideable when raining. my advice is to take advantage of any dry warm weather and ride when you can. be safe!<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s been raining on and off all morning. I\u2019m happy with my decision to stay. Plus I could use more rest; I can\u2019t catch my breath after simply walking up the stairs. Tre has stayed put as well. He\u2019s working on his bike under the cover of the porch roof. We\u2019re not sure what\u2019s going to happen tomorrow. There was 3\/4\u2033 of rain yesterday and a higher chance today and tomorrow. It\u2019s also supposed to be cold and windy, down to about freezing the next two nights. After that, the chance of precipitation should drop. We\u2019ll have to wait to see what goes down tomorrow. We could be here yet another day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just received another text from Queen Bee. Not sure what happened, but it doesn\u2019t sound good:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So\u2026new derailleur on\u2026chain still in line for inspection. haha we are not doing 110 today<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
