Looking “wet, wet, wet”

@consularrider, as of now, the rain is predicted at 6 in the evening. I hope to finish by that time.

Yep, the updated forecast has moved it from all day thunderstorms to mostly overnight.  Good luck with the ride!

Update: This ride turns into a metric century due to the rain that, as of now, begins around 3 pm. We will roll at 8 am and stop for lunch at South Street Under in Leesburg for sandwiches. Round trip from W&OD Trailhead to South Street Under is 68 miles. Please, spread the word.

We rode only to Green Lizard and back to finish by the time rain begins. Check out our ride at https://strava.app.link/YmoPRTy1MRb.
