Welcome to hurricane season!
It looks like the weather will be dry through noon but, after that, not a dry road until Thursday. I am out in MO for our annual Mizzou Women’s Rugby Olde Girls (that would be me) Weekend. Given the damp outlook for the rest of the week, we ought to have something on the books, so let’s do something shorter to be sure we stay dry; if it stays nice and you want more miles, just swing out to the Cape loop afterwards.
Wheels roll at 8:00.
I will be volunteering for the Dempsey Challenge tomorrow and so won't be available for the ride. I don't have a dedicated bunny wrangler, but the weather looks pretty darn fine, so I'll just post the route we didn't do last weekend (45 miles), plus the longer/hillier version (53 miles) if people feel so inclined. Load them both and choose in the morning.

Well, I was going to offer the under-used 62-mile, 2000' loop out to Steep Falls, but then I gave blood this afternoon, so I need a course I can bail from, if necessary. So I'll offer up the 50-mile, 1700' Mitchell Hill/Ash Swamp loop, or a 40-mile loop up to Pineland. The weather should be perfect: full sun, little wind... I guess load them both and we'll pick in the morning.
I will be out of town tomorrow but Theresa has agreed to be Bunny Wrangler, and she'd like to visit Wild Oats.
The temperature should be 64-68°, but the feels-like temps will stay in the low 60s the whole time, so dress accordingly. The wind will be northerly all day, so you'll earn your muffin on the way up and enjoy a fun ride back. There are multiple shortcuts, as usual, so pick your distance and come on along. Wheels roll at 8:00.
