Wet Roads Cancel

A lot of ride leaders will add the phrase "Wet Roads Cancel" in their ride descriptions but I usually don't. Its not that I will ride on wet roads that could be dangerous but there are different levels of wetness some which are rideable. That was the case this past Saturday.

It had rain on Friday night but was clearing by Saturday morning with the roads drying. When I got up I checked the weather. It was going to be cold and cloudy but there was no more rain on the radar. It wasn't going to be the nicest day and the roads were going to be damp. Other ride leaders had decided to cancel the rides but I decided it was safe enough to ride.

We rode from Bordentown and met at the Peter Muschal School which for the first time was crowded with some event so we ended up parking at the high school across the street. After collecting some people in the other parking lots we did an old route through Roebling. I haven't done this route in a couple of years so it was a good change of pace. I had 9 people since I was the only ride that didn't cancel.

It was a cold but the roads were mostly dry and the route was flat so it was a easy 40 mile ride and since it is almost winter it is good to get a ride in any time you can.
