Ok well after spending a week in NC and WV I knew there would be some post riding depression. However I had a full weekend slated. Between riding, trail maintenance, Gator Football then the FSU vs UM Football game Monday night the weekend wasn't looking too bad.


Then

It may not hit my area directly, but none the less I have already done some grocery shopping, gonna have to board up my house (not that I have a full set of shutters) then go to my sister's and parent's house to do the same. Oh that doesn't even account for having to button down the hatches at work.
:mumble: :mumble: :mumble: :mumble: :mumble: :mumble: :mumble:

 

[Echo]

Man, the weather here's gonna be perfect. Finally.

 

[DVNT]

Hopefully all that work will turn out to be not necessary. Looks like this is gonna be a bad one. I heard the eye of this hurricane is like 25 miles in diameter, where the average ones are only 4-5.

 

[Yossarian]

It looks like it is going to ruin my intended trip to the carolina coast, but not like it could ruin your life. I hope it turns out to be nothing for you.

 

[SkaredShtles]

Man, the weather here's gonna be perfect. Finally.

Hrmm... low 70's and sunny. Gonna be a little chilly here....

-S.S.-

 

[biggins]

Damn,
Hope Snowshoe will still be dry for Mayhem after this very large gnaricane.

me too

 

[jbrunton]

This thing is going to plow right through where i live. I live in east Orlando about 25 miles from the east coast. We're screwed!

 

[Rip]

You hold tight, who knows maybee urban riding in a hurricane could kick butt.

 

[HRDTLBRO]

With a 140 knot tailwind, you could bust some mad stair gaps.

 

[TreeSaw]

Good luck to all you s in FL. I grew up in Daytona Beach and believe me, I don't miss it too much! Especially when I see a weather picture like that one!

 

[Knuckleslammer]

Yeah, that stuff is becoming Oracles big excuse not to help anyone.
"Oh, hurricane Charlie, Hurricane Tom, Hurricane Dick, Hurricane Harry, we just don't have the staff right now"

WELL, MOVE IT UNDERGROUND SOMEWHERE, I DON'T CARE. JERKS

My brother thought it was a good idea to move to Miami. He talks about the weather, blah, blah, blah. I should call him. My ride was around 75-80 degrees at 6:30 last night. Little to no humidity. SS would be hatin' I got it so good.

 

[bigginsis]

ummm hey Rob...Gators suck. LSU rocks.

 

[MTB_Rob_NC]

ummm hey Rob...Gators suck. LSU rocks.

Normally I would entertain this conversation, but..........

Couple more hours at work, then home to trim some trees, board up mine, my sisters and my folks houses and hold on.

 

[bigginsis]

yeah i suppose now is not the time for sparring over who plays better football.
seriously - you be safe and don't take chances. we will be thinking about you!!

Yeah. I would like to see what you consider "little to no humidity".......... Weather here was in the mid-80's and bone dry. Of course, I didn't get out to ride...... :mumble:

-S.S.-

 

[biggins]

Maybe 10%. It was super (note-not using uber) nice for a ride. Tonight will be nice, but I am riding road and it is windy right now.

Hey Rob,

Tell you boss to take a hike. You need to get your family secured. I hope you have shutters or wood already, cuz you won't get any if you wait too long. My husband stood in line 4 hours at Home Depot starting at 7:00 am. They are only letting people get 5 sheets of wood at a time, so he came back after getting our 5 sheets, picked up our oldest daughter, and took her back to Home Depot to stand in line for some more wood while he went and boarded my mom' place up. We still haven't started boarding up here yet. We have been ordered to evacuate, so we need to get finished tonight.

You should've used "uber"............. I like "uber."

-S.S.-

 

[Rip]

All of you s in Fla be safe, I have family down there right in the path. I hope they don't get stupid and decide to ride it out.

 

[Wumpus]

We aren't in the desert. It was more like in the 40's.

[JRB]

Did you ride??? It was dry punk. Cool on the shock. Will it be here today? Where's the ride?

 

[TN]

at least it has been downgraded to a cat 3.

 

[BillT]

I live up in Orlando and we're still cleaning up from Charley! We just got our cable back last Sunday and our power back the Friday before. At least it looks like the storm is weakening, but since it is moving so slow, it is going to dump a huge amount of rain. My wife and I are pretty much set for the weekend and we're keeping our fingers crossed that isn't as bad as it could be.

I imagine that all the trails up here - TOE, Carter Road, Alafia, Santos, and Razorback - are going to take a major beating.

 

[MTB_Rob_NC]

Woo hoo... Made it relatively unscathed. I hope everyone else did as well.

The biggest problem was fighting the boredom.

 

[Salami]

Rob,

How is it down there? I am in CT and have been watching the storm on the news. From what I have been able to gather our area is doing relatively okay. I take it you have power. DeMo has been without power since Saturday morning.

BTW, have you been having problems with FRS? It appears the site is down

 

[BillT]

Where I live in Orlando came through pretty much unharmed. We never lost power and just got our cable back about 2 hours ago. For Charley, we were out of power for a week and cable for 2 weeks. I wonder how the trails fared.
