Winery ride rainout

I was supposed to lead a Belleville Area Bicycling and Eating Society ride at the Ravissant Winery in Belleville, Ill., today. However, because of the rain, only one person showed up, and I had to cancel the ride. I kind of figured almost no one would show up, but I had to be there anyway in case people did.

While I was disappointed that the ride was cancelled -- the three winery rides we did last fall drew about 25 people each -- I would much rather have the bad weather this weekend instead of next weekend for the Tour de Stooges. A whole lot more is stake with the Tour de Stooges than with the winery ride.

By the way, The Weather Channel is predicting partly cloudy skies with a high temperature of 71 degrees next Saturday for the Tour de Stooges -- and a 0 percent chance of rain! Let's hope that forecast holds true, but you just never know with weather in the St. Louis area.

It's Tues and NOAA shows 66 and partly sunny...sounds perfect!

Sorry to hear about the rain-out this past w/e. I gotta get down there to join you for these great rides...the wine ride sounds fun too.
