They are saying mostly rain for us anyway. I am ok with that.

So far training isn't terrible.

So looks like I'll be flying down to see him sooner rather than later.

Well enjoy the weather while it lasts!!
Sorry to hear that Cory. Hope you have a good visit when you get there

Nice! We got around 3" on Friday. I went riding. Did 33 miles. First few miles a little thin but once I got up more in elevation it was pretty good
