If you are still considering going to the Berkshires for Memorial Day Weekend and haven't yet made lodging reservations, read this message I received from The Weathervane Inn:

Due to more rain and especially thunderstorms, than I think most people want to ride in at this time of year if they have a choice Daniel and I are cancelling tomorrows Liberty Epic and rescheduling for next Sunday which looks like nice weather. Yes, the Bloomin Metric is that day but I don't have a ticket and they are sold out.

90% chance of rain plus thunderstorms = too dicey to be out on the shorelines. We'll try to repeat this popular ride in mid-June. Starting around 9:30-ish tomorrow, Marilyn and Ken will probably wander about Manhattan on our folders--carrying rain gear--so we can duck into a store or subway on short notice. Wanna join us? Email [email protected]

We're so sorry to cancel but the weather forecast really looks bad.  We hope to see you on the road another time - perhaps at next week's Social Sunday ride. 

Regards, Linda (for the City Island leaders)

a cancellation is posted below

           or

it is raining in Manhattan between 7-9 AM

You can call (845) 359-6260 before 8:45 AM if you have any ?'s

If skies threaten we may cut it shorter (Closter, NJ means "closer" in Dutch!)

90% chance of rain and thunderstorms = ride cancelled.

Given the earlier storm and forecast.  Hope everyone stayed out and slept in even later!  See you next Sunday - Tom.
