Well, I guess you have to learn about the frustrations of getting skunked sooner or later

my advice would be not to set too high of an expectation ( it'll be easier that way )

The only thing I see is maybe a little night riding on wed night , thats a big maybe

Big R is right. Unless there is a sea breeze forget about it....

I wouldn't give any weight to any forecast this time of year.

Can't wait for the cable park to open!

Moving to the Tampa Bay area again...love all the St. Pete peeps and riding(when there is wind)..but, we have been spoiled with the cable in Deerfield Bch (the Rixen)...sad to leave them peeps.

soooooooooooooo happy to hear that they are puttin in a cable there...especially since summer is here...gotta love the cable!

When and where?????

your best bet is to burn some fossil fuels and head to the keys or hatterras

Heading south to the keys is the plan...my last weekend here on the east coast of Florida...what a great way to spend it...kiting in the keys...yeahhhhh!

Wicked weather behind it!
I just got home from Brandon, its getting nasty over there and pushing hard this way.
gusty winds blowing down branches and stuff, so be careful if you are brave enough to ride.

39-47 at the Skyway right now,......:twisted:

Nasty as hell over here in Brandon, heard it's lightning like crazy in st. pete.

Bad news is the wind completely died over here... I am behind it and it doesn't look good.

Looks like it's trying from the NNE... sky is clearing behind it not sure if it's real or not. All sensors have a good NE bias.

agreed doppler looks really bad... bizarre in fact like it's going to switch SE and nuke.
