Sunday: A few showers early then thundershowers developing later in the day. High around 65F. Winds SSW at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of rain 60%.
Sunday (24 hours): Showers, maybe a rumble of thunder. Highs in the mid 60s and lows in the upper 40s.

I sense the hesitation here, and I can't say I'm surprised. If lots of people don't show, and it rains? It just won't be the same. To top it off, my car's in the shop so I'd be driving the loaner anyway.

I wish there were a definitive answer here on whether it's still on or not. I can't find any reference to a rain date, either. I honestly don't know at this point, but I'll look at the forecast tomorrow morning and call my shot then.

I will be there around 7:00AM to meet everyone...

PLEASE TRY TO GET THERE BEFORE 8:00AM SO YOU DO NOT HAVE TO PAY A $6.00 ENTRANCE FEE TO JONES BEACH...

I Was on the phone with them for 30 minutes yesterday trying to get exempt, but they would not budge and did not give a **** that it was for charity...

Please bring cash as there might be a fee to park at Montauk...

HAve a great day, cuz right now the sun is out, and Oxygen should get great pics @ Jones beach and Montauk by the time u all reach there! The best thing is the mega-caravan over there which I'm gonna miss (And I always wanted to do this ride)

Enjoy!
