:?: I am heading over to Freeport this Thursday for the Thanksgiving weekend. Checked the forecast on Accuweather-not much wind Thu-Sun. I am wondering if it's worth it for me to haul all my gear with me, or if I should just hang with the folks and eat turkey???
Any advise from local riders will be appreciated- if and what to bring, good riding spots, should I rent a car, etc.
Thnaks,
Al

Hello Al,

There is some information about launches, weather sites, etc. for Grand Bahama Island where Freeport is located at:

It looks like a stronger front will slide through a bit before Thanksgiving but who knows? You might get some rideable conditions anyway.

gday mate
as you know the forcast is not allways correct, as shuman said a little whyle back if you don't bring your gear it will blow 15 to 25 , if you bring your gear there might be no wind.
you gota be in it to win it....bring your gear you will be devistated if it blows .
roby dilete is from free port pm him to get some info on locals and riding spots as well as checking the link that rick supplyed.
