I would be down for this... but I do not have scuba gear and it looks to be a wet one on Saturday!
I will keep an eye out for another.

There aren't any others. That's why this thread exists. We had to ask for it and semi-commit before it got set up. Now or never, man! Lol!

Taking this in the rain just adds to your riding skill. Sooner or later you will get caught in the rain, and that is when all the good accidents start.

Plus, what YoDoc said

I recently took a Lee Parks Total Control course in OKC. It rained throughout the entire course.. At the beginning I was annoyed because I wanted all the traction I could get, but at the end I was amazed at how much better of a rider I was in wet conditions.

Yes it is!!!

It is lunch I usually skip. Just not certain that I can get around that early in the morning. Having dinner this evening out of town (with Grandkids) and need to be certain the bike is ready for the course.

If its like this tomorrow, I'm happy. Sure beats 100+ degree with sun beating down

10% rain chance all day, upper 70's and a decent breeze. I may actually have to being a layer/liner to keep comfy!

I may go just to watch the fun. That's my home range. I have spent many an hour there trying to get that #&#&@%#%! serpentine right.

If I bring a camera, will you take embarrassing pictures for us?

LOL See y'all at the hanger! And I agree, I'm ALL FOR a mostly cloudy day with no rain.

Edit: nvm, I used my advanced Google skills and found a previous post with link. See y'all there

Re: Feeler for Experienced Rider Course (outsiders welcome)

So here's the route I've got worked out (not in reverse order like the last link ) with the range at the end of it. KSU 8:45-9 depending on how quickly ya'll eat- we can plan a fuel stop in Decatur or Sanger or between lunch and the range for those who need it.

Warning- the stretch between Justin/Decatur is some county road, it's not the most pristine or debris-free, so keep your eyes open in the bottoms of the curves and at intersections.
