Englishtown Tonight? 4/30

Weather looks nice for tonight. I packed my helmet. Unfortunately, I filled my tank on Saturday, so I am not at my fighting weight.

If anyone else plans on heading down, please post.

Thanks.

Too funny. On my out the door this morning I did the same thing and threw my helmet in the trunk just in case. Well, since the weather is 55 degrees / 50% humidity it looks like my last two meetings of the day have been cancelled.

Good luck!

I didn't make it tonight. I made it to the Turnpike entrance ramp off of Rt. 3and bailed. I left the office about 30 minutes later than I wanted to leave, it took longer to get to the TPK than it should have, traffic report said a truck flipped at the 15W ramp and a bus was stuck by Exit 11. A big conspiracy against me no doubt. Needing to leave by 9 pm to head home, that left me with the possibility of getting in only one run. Not worth the time.

Let's hope for good weather on May 9th.

Sorry, man. Ouch.

On a lighter note, looks like you and Ronaldo have something in common. (Just trying to make you chuckle.)

Went to ATCO tonight and we got rained out.
There was less then 20 vehicles and it cost $15. to run.
I now have a rain check, might try again tomorrow.
