Rain showers likely in the morning. Highs in the upper 40s. Chance of rain 60 percent.Weather Based on this, I would ride, but no dirt. The dirt route I made 2 years ago still awaits a dry event so we can try it out. Bummer. But the roads will be fun as long as it's above freezing. Dana, The weather forecast for Saturday is looking pretty bad with 70% chance of precipitation and lows in the 30's to 50's high........Sunday, however looks great Any thought to doing the Gould's ride on Sunday? If possible, and the word gets out soon, the turn out to Gould's might be pretty good.

Posts: 732 04/03/08 10:18 AM Moderator	People, After careful consideration and consult with riders a lot smarter that me, I've come to the decision to keep the Goul'd Sugar House ride on Saturday, April 5 for the following reasons. This ride is traditionally known as a rain or shine event. Those of you who consistantly show up know this. We've ridden in rain, sleet and snow. The YB Wall calendar and Boxer Shorts are out there with this date and lots of people may not get the message of the date change and show up to a re-scheduled ride. Look, I'd like to sleep in too as I'm performing Friday night and Sat night leaving me no sleep time over the weekend but I don't want to miss those who will show up anyway. Those of you who want to wait till Sunday should make seperate arrangements and do so. I'm shure Mrs Gould would love to have you. This ride remains a Rain or Shine event. Dress accordingly. Warm wood stoves, Hot cakes, Waffles, Hot coffee, Corn fritters, Home made syrup and pickles! Ride leaves at 10:00am from the Shell gas station at Rt 2 (EXIT 16) / Rt 202 junction in Orange, MA BE There! DaNaL SaVaNt

That being said one of the most memorable Goulds ride was in the cold rain leaving from the old Box car location. Go for the ride and warm up by the woodstove, enjoy some of that Heated apple cider, and if the weather is better Sunday, go back for seconds ! Waffle, Sausage and Goulds Maple Syrup !

Posts: 1043 04/03/08 6:35 PM	OK, As the official western weather man, here is the updated NWS forecast:: Friday: Snow before 9am, then rain and snow between 9am and 10am, then rain after 10am. High near 41. Southeast wind at 10 mph becoming northeast. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of less than one inch possible. Friday Night: Rain, mainly before 2am. Low around 37. East wind between 5 and 9 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New rainfall amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch possible. Saturday: Showers likely, mainly before 8am. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 46. North wind between 5 and 7 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New rainfall amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch possible. Key data here is that overnite Friday low is 37 degrees. Secondary data is the rainfall amounts, which are low. That means I should be able to ride from the house without ice on the roads. Rain - no problemo I find it embarrasing to read some of the above posts. Brain is given a mulligan cuz he's a n00b. Moelaz - shame on you . Colt, I'm gonna miss you, and I promise my handle bars will stay in place this year. It wouldn't be the Goulds ride if we moved it to Sunday. Dana, I'm with you man. Neither rain, nor snow shall keep me from my appointed pancakes. Ice is another thing, but looks like that ain't a problem this time. See yall on Satidy.

Posts: 732 04/05/08 3:44 PM Moderator	It was a Perfect day for the YB's pre-season opening ride. As we flew past houses, farms and fields the temps ranged from the mid 50's in the low lying areas to the high 30's up in the hills. Rivers rushed from the Spring runoff and the mighty Ct. river pregnant at its banks swamping the trees to their trunks. It was exillerating to ride where snow 3 feet deep hugged the shoulders of the roads at the deep thick forrests and long yellow feilds of grass streched out before us in the valleys. In the distance the hills revealed what is left of the late season ski trails. The aroma of cows in the pastures and wood burning in the yards was intoxicating. Farmers were out in their red and black flannel coats with red gas cans in hand preparing to fire up the tractors. I counted 4 radar traps and zero tickets. Thanks to the 26 riders for coming along for the ride. It's always worth the effort. Thanks also to Bob Ain't stoppin' Hadden and Steve Terrien who helped lead the way. And to Hellen Gould at the Sugar House for the warm hospitality. Danal SaVaNt Last Edited By: danal 04/05/08 3:52 PM. Edited 2 times.

I didn't have my real camera on this trip, but the iPhone did duty: Yes, the fire was lit and syrup in the making. This proves that we were, in fact, a bit early this year. MusicMan and DaShopKeep in the parking lot after. We were the last out the gate.
