Yea, were getting a cold front down here too. Lows in upper 50's and highs in low 80's.

I guess I'm just spoiled, but if it's not 60 degrees, it's just too cold for me to ride. Takes all the fun out of it! They are also forecasting wind gusts around 40 mph on Friday night, and there's a blizzard warning in the panhandle! What about Sunday? They are saying highs in the upper 60's for Sunday??

May have to now. Looks like the high has now slipped to 55 degrees. That's getting into my uncomfortable zone. I'll have to check with the "Main Squeeze" and see what the Sunday schedule is after Mass.

I made a day trip down to Houston today (Thursday). Already warm and humid (nasty). Rained like a monsoon for about an hour and finally cooled off towards dark. Big ol' bugs smacking the windshield of the van on the way back.

I'm just looking for Sunday in Dallas now.

All right. the plan is to postpone the pre-ride one day to Sunday the 29th for better weather. Probably try to leave around 11:00 a.m. (do night Mass to stay in good with the King). Taking off from here in DeSoto and doing lunch at Bubba's BBQ in Ennis around 1:00 pm.

If you are interested, let me know.

I was in Rio Grande City on the 26th. The temperature on the mirror in my pickup said 100degf. The bank sign had 99. Waking up in Katy this morning with 42 was a shock to the system.

John woke up this morning to snow blowing around in McKinney.

Looks like 80 degrees next Saturday and a good day for the real ride.

Well as usual it didnt get as cold as they thought. Probably 58 when I fed the dogs this morning. Wore my perforated riding jacket to work this morning and it is 63 now. I have to work the home show at the convention center at noon, after I get out at 2:00 expecting mid to high 70's. Yesterday it was 101 when I picked up my daughter at 3:30!

Should be a great weekend for riding.

Great day for a ride, Bubba's BBQ was good, weather was awesome, hopefully work will cooperate and I can make the "real" ride next weekend!
