I was torn between watching the live coverage of Florence on CNN and puttering. It looked like it might rain and indeed, there were little "wet cells" showing up on the Doppler, but nothing hit us here. So I didn't go for a ride. Finally, at the end of the day, Tony G cancelled the 1200k in NC. So ...
I've got a flight & hotel room to cancel. The hotel can be cancelled up until arrival, almost, so I'm good there. I don't know about the flight.
More to the point, I've got to do a September ride. I could do a Permanent in NY or there are 200k brevets scheduled for Ottawa and St. Thomas for next weekend; one on Saturday and one on Sunday. Checking Google, they are equidistant from here, roughly 5 hours drive. 10 hours driving + 10-12 hours riding. Hmm.
... and, if I still want to do the same number of 1200+ rides this year, the Florida 1600k is my only viable option. Taiwan is/was another option between Oz and Israel but that's a crummy option.
Whatever. The Florida ride is going to be a long slog.
Onward.
