Where are you getting that forecast from, Jeff? Or is it just wishful thinking?

Extended forecast I've looked at says temps around 70.

Of course, this is Vermont. You can't trust a forecast three days out, let alone a week and a half!

Ain't THAT the truth!

I've been caught in hailing thunderstorms on Rt100 when it was supposed to be 80 and sunny, and in humid 90º+ sun when it was predicted to be a cool dry 80º in a 48 hour-before the trip forecast.

Damned weather-guessers!

:scratchhead: Hey Mark...just checked Accuweather and it says the B Tiger B will be experiencing weather in the 80's...so they bounced their forecast back up...I'm in the wrong business...I actually have to be right all the time..... :cry:

Admit it Jeff. You aren't really using Acuweather. I know you pulled out the Farmer's Almanac.

I don't know Jeff. I thought for sure the sign said Hooters Falls instead of Hoosick Falls...

:mrgreen: High temperatures are still holding according to my morning FarmUweather report
for B'ton....
Thursday 86F and sunny
Friday 89F and sunny
Saturday 88F and sunny

Looks to be some toasty riding.....or as my Dad used to say...."some great hay dryin' weather"

Bring the sunscreen and fluids. Great days of riding are just ahead. :plusone:
