I'm just back in town from the cold north and looking forward to riding! Looks like it might be doable from the East in the AM. I'm thinking of hitting SW with the sunrise, who else is in?

Amber and I will be there, if at all possible we will be at EB though for Amber's sake. Erick and Roy said they were up for it too...

What is the minimum tide that allow to ride at EB ?
Is it more 0, +1 or +2 feet ?
Thanks,

The wind direction (and velocity) heavily influence our local tides in the bay, especially the lows. On strong NE winds low tides can be exaggerated (no water on the grass flats for a couple hours).
Conversely, South winds help to keep water in the bay.
I wouldn't worry, tomorrow by 8am there should be water.:D

It seems to be blowing right now, let's hope it holds out.

Well with the SW sensor down it is hard to say for sure, but it doesn't look so hot. I think I'll do some more coffe then maybe go have a look see. Sunday afternoon looks promising!

Damn! I really wanted to ride today. I'm going to keep an eye on the wind and try to get some chores done today so if tomorrow happens I'll be free.

Pretty good all in all.
