i do the same AARR. Porch faces east, so I can usually sit in the chairs and the rain/wind stays away while watching the storm pass overhead

For as long as I can remember whenever there is a storm, even if it is late at night, I like to sit outside under an overhang (like a porch) and enjoyt the storm

Tornado warning in Walworth County in Wisconsin

Although my round will be much later

I’m in the SLGT area

TORNADER WATCH

I posted it in my weather thread

So that will be fun.

I was looking at the likely hood from watch text the SPC and likely hood for tornadoes is high and for EF2 is moderate

It just poured here

I have the storm prediction center bookmarked for immediate reference

I merged his weather thread into his existing one, then he created another with the same info. Axed the 2nd creation.

We really only NEED 1 connection, be it the Plymouth sub, the GR sub, or the Moose.

I’m not sure about the future of rail in GR. I supect at least 1 or even 2 of the current connections from GR to the national rail network will someday be severed.

I Don’t think their demise is imminent by any means. Nor do I wish it. But maybe someday.

You shut your mouth about the GDLK becoming a trail! They have lots of online customers at least...

Very nice. When the Grad Elk becomes a trail you will really have a great connection from your home to the cycling world.

appears his dad is driving the SAG wagon along with them for a couple weeks, so no gear on their bikes.

At least not that I noticed. We were riding westbound from about 5-6. No one passed us while we were travelling back east. Nor did we pass anyone travelling east.

~Z~ wrote: nice jetlink. wonder if you crossed paths with a husband of a friend of mine. He and his buddy left muskegon this morning and rode to St Johns area. Day 1 of a few week ride going to new Hampshire on gravel bikes. He rode through Ionia.

I suppose it is possible. Didn’t see anyone that had obvious touring ear though.

I use “Hard Case” bike tires. They are more flat resistant. I’ve been very satisfied with them.
