Step-Up Ride for Saturday, February 2nd -- scheduled start time is 8:00 AM.  Temps are predicted to be low 50s at the start, wind prediction is OK at 6 or 7 mph from the South, but there is a 1/3 chance of rain overnight Friday into Saturday and that's where we'll likely have to wait until early Saturday to decide if this ride can go as planned.  On Saturday morning check the weather outside and and PBA group Facebook page and this website blog to see if there's any change in our plan due to rain or wet roads across our riding area. I'll post any needed announcement by 6:15 AM Saturday morning.  If you don't see an announcement by 6:30 AM, then I'm headed to the start area and we'll call a go-no from there.  (As always, 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).  Rain is only a one-third chance as of this writing, so odds are we'll be good to go for an 8:00 AM start.
   The Step-Up Ride start area is at the Gulledge Elementary School (west side Preston Meadow just south of Legacy). Please sign-in by 15 minutes prior to start for the pre-ride safety briefing so we'll be able to start as scheduled.    Please have checked and aired up your bike prior to the pre-ride briefing 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".
