It is still raining a little here too... looks like it might back off soon, so we can get off in the mountains before it starts up again  -Mike |

I aim to roll up 11 into Greenville county, take 14 up to Landrum, pick up a short run of back roads and land on 221 near Rutherfordton. -Mike |

usually I cant sleep before a big ride and am up between 4 and 5
But been thinking about this ride so much even though I was never going that I was up at 5
Glad y'all are not skeered of a little precipitation. Check those tires get out the trash bag rain suits and have an awesome weekend.

It's an off and on rain here.
I probably won't leave until around noon (only a 2.5 hr ride for us).
We may have to play a little storm tag but that's OK.
See y'all this evening.
