yea, not bad here either.

If I can get some info on measured storm surge I can determine whether or not I need to head down to the marina to seseat the boat on the lift.

Here's my thought. Worst case scenario, we could ride down to the boat so I can make sure it's ok and then head south through Maryland for a longish day ride. There are some really nice roads south of the boat.

... which would combine three of Duncan's favorite things, motorcycles, boats and riding near water.

Sounds reasonable to me. I just hope I put the bike back together right

Of course two houses down there is a tree on top of Larry's house. Stay tuned...

It dawns on me that if we were to do the Southern Maryland tour it won't be nearly the "expert" level ride that we were contemplating with all the superslab and mountains (which we definitely still need to do!)

Being a big contemplater of context, If we were to do a coastal Maryland ride, I think that changes things significantly and we could safely invite Yun along. It'd be mostly slower back roads with a number of stops. Yun and I have ridden down that way before.

Your call now Y. Since all "plans" have sort of been eliminated we can do whatever you like.

Obviously, you guys just should have planned to ride farther west. I hear the Rockies are nice this time of year.

If you ride through southern Maryland, somebody please have a crabcake sandwich for me.

I wish I had that kind of time!

Crabcake shadwiches will be enjoyed.

Last I heard the worst of it is supposed to pass by around 5AM ... so I'm thinking if we ride tomorrow we should do it a bit later.

How about we touch base late morning and see where we're at?

I think this was all just an elaborate plot on the part of Yermo to push back the start time.

Probably guilty as charged.

Power is still out up here. On generator power at the moment. One T1 is down but still online thanks to the second line.

There's a fair amount of debris in the road and yard.

But it's still raining.

Not looking good for riding, at least for the moment.

Completely clear here. Sun is out, light breeze is drying everything up...lots of leaves in the pool but otherwise just a regular rain storm.

Shoot me a text if you want to get out.

My feeling is riding up here is not going to be good. There's a good amount of debris. From reports on Facebook it looks like the Bay got hit pretty hard. One friend reported 5 trees down.

I think I'm going to have to pass on riding as I need to head to the marina to check on the boat.

.. and it sounds like riding down in that direction is probably going to suck with traffic/debris.

Duncan is without power but is already out (at starbucks). He says there's too much flooding the debris in the road for good riding up here.

Ok, let's call it. Maybe some other time...

/definitely/ some other time.

Without question. Weather/roads should improve before too long...
