Looks Like Rain

Nature is getting in sync with the season (cyclocross) this weekend, bringing a 30-70% chance of showers Friday thru early Sunday and 0.125-0.25" of rain per day, with the most airborne material landing Saturday morning. Not a deluge, but enough to put chunks in your eyes, grit on you teeth, and make your chain sound kind of funny. If all goes well, it should start to dry up late Sunday morning, which is great since we hate to put away a wet tent.

This detailed forecast comes from our (Jeff's) favorite forecast page, the NOAA Graphical Forecasts, which is linked from our weather page. The Graphical Forecast is maintained by NOAA, and while it doesn't have the polished look of weather.com, lists quantity as well as probability of precipitation (click the Daily tab, then scroll to QPF), essential to coming up with a detailed weather guess.

In the news:

• Neutral/Demo bikes and neutral support: Marin Bikes will be in the pit tent to provide bikes and basic repair services, but no wheels. BYOW.
• Canned Food Drive this Sunday: Bring us your canned food and you could win Gizdich Pie! Five cans of food or $5 will secure your raffle ticket. Food and proceeds are donated to the local, non-profit, Second Harvest Food Bank. Raffle is at 1:30 PM
