I just called Jesus and he is gonna see what he can do. You know, Mother Nature can be tough to deal with sometimes  ::) 

Let the good times flow....

Has Jesus and Mother Nature given the green flag for the where and when of FC, or same as last year weather depending?

Re: French Creek Camping

i may be camping friday night if we have a campsite and if anyone else is camping.  alternately i may just go party with the grundles at finney's in doylestown on friday night in preparation for a long saturday ride at french creek. jacalyn suggested a saturday early ride then a group lunch then more riding. i could go with that too.

Ok. I just found out there was no info here about the campsite. I know there is one reserved already and I am attempting to get the info now and will post it here. Sorry folks. Not that I am the responsible party, but sorry all the same. I'll see what I can do and try to get some info.

Nothing. Sorry. Should be an update here by tomorrow. But there is a site reserved for the group.

Given the weather forecast, Fri evening/night ride may be our best shot at not getting rained on.  I'd be willing to camp out; but I got to work until about 4PM; so 6-7PM would be the earliest I'd get there.  Hope my lights are charged.

Re: French Creek Camping

So we don't have a reservation tonight? But the space we have for tomorrow is available?

Anyhow, I'm probably going to skip camping tonight.  But I'm going to try to be there bright and early on Saturday to ride. 

Bonkers... I'm waiting to see how much rain before I decide what I'm doing on Sunday.
