Will the waterfall ride still be on?

[Mark S]

Hi all,
Just wondering if the ride to Waterfall is still on due to the weather conditions?

Cheers

Well unless its completely flooding tomorrow morning, I will at least attempt to ride. Hopefully there will be a couple of other riders as well.

Officially the ride is off when raining (risk, liability etc). However, individuals often still brave the weather per usual schedule, pending severity of weather.

[Mark S]

No worries,
I will turn up and if its goes ahead then I will be in, if not I will spend a day home.
Hopefully the weather will hold off.
Cheers

Which bunch are you planning for? If the weather is poor, you may have a better chance of meeting a ride buddy if you show up early and wait.

Hopefully if the weather is good I will ride. If it is raining though - I will be a no show. I will turn up at 6.15 for the 6.20 group.

Too wet for us as the downpipe rain alarm was dripping away this morning and the radar said RAIN! Two sleep-ins in a row ... bliss.

Hi,
Ended up going and met with a couple of the guys and Fiona.
Had a great time and enjoyed the whole ride.
Will be there for another one.

Cheers

What was the weather like Mike? I woke up at 5.45, looked out the window and went straight back to bed.

It rained/showered until about 5.50 then stopped for about 10mins had another small shower then it blew over.

I waited until 6.20 and started to head back and then saw the others.

The actual ride weather was great.

cheers

You missed out Alex! I took a look at the radar at 620 and it looked like no rain for at least 1.5 hours or so. I left at 645 and didn't get a drop of rain. Saw Pete, Mrs Pete, Andre and Mark and that was it from DHBC. I probably saw 6 other riders on the whole ride. Did the whole thing solo and was back in the door by 910. My bike was (and still is) in a bit of a state though.

Matt, you were the only one that didn't go for a coffee

Yeah, it may not have rained but I was still pretty wet and didn't particularly feel like getting cold at the cafe. Banana bread is great but gets trumped by a hot shower in certain circumstances.
