I am thinking of riding Hurricane Ridge either this Friday or Saturday. I have not been over this year yet and it is always a nice trip and ride when the weather cooperates. I checked the long range forecast. Friday is forecast to be 74 F (23 C) and clear. Sounds like a lovely day!

Anyone interested, I am flexible on either Friday or Saturday.

Hi Barton, I'm away this weekend and still haven't made it over. Would you be interested in going over on the 22nd?

If the temperature forecast high stays above 70 I am game for Friday. Saturday does not work for me and it looks cool. I checked the current temp and it is 53 F with a forecast high of 67 today.

So far, Friday looks good! I am thinking of coming back on 12:45.

Barton;

I'm in for Friday. On the condition that you and your featherweight companion will wait for me at the top. :wink:

Absolutely! I am hoping that Sylvan will come back down after he has reached the top and pace us up the last 5 or 6 K!

I think I am still going to go. The temperature will be even warmer later in the PM and the bars will be open after the ride down for a cool beer or two before the ferry home! I'll just get home a few hours later than usual. Besides, I already bought the travel health insurance! And I can sleep in! So many bonuses!

Sleep in! Clean the house! Then, ride the Ridge on last time for 2012! The weather is going to be amazing! It is currently 71 F and clear and calm as can be at the top. More of the same expected tomorrow.
