Step-Up Ride for Saturday, December 8th, the scheduled start time is 8:00 AM, but this ride is not likely to go.   The weather forecast for Saturday is bad -- temp 39 deg at 8 AM (wind chill 33 degrees), with a 100% chance of rain from 8 AM Friday through until 5 AM Saturday.  The ride at this writing is not cancelled, but if Friday isn't very much drier and Saturday early-AM isn't a few degrees warmer than now predicted there will be a cancellation put out Friday or Saturday early AM.
   The Step-Up Ride start area is at the Gulledge Elementary School (west side Preston Meadow just south of Legacy).  If we are a go, please sign-in by 7:45 AM for the pre-ride safety briefing so we'll be able to start as scheduled at 8:00 AM.  Please check this ride notice page or the PBA Facebook group page Saturday morning if this ride is not cancelled on Friday due to the wet roads and expected continued rains.  If appropriate, I'll post any change/cancellation announcement by 6:30 AM Saturday.  If you think there ought to be change and you don't see an announcement by 6:45 AM then I'm headed to the start area and we'll call a go/no-go from there. (As always, cancellation announcements for all developmental rides -- of which Step-Up is one -- put out by Ron Shome, the PBA Ride Coordinator, supersedes whatever I might be considering or posting, so look for anything from him as well).   Please have checked and aired up your bike prior to the 7:45 AM briefing time and remember helmet, water, and tire repair kit.   The Step-Up route is posted on the RidewithGPS PBA Club Route Library under the title "SU_31.3_AllenHeights_OakPtPark".
