Jay and I are watching the forecast but we still want to have the Bay run. A lot of our riders that entered the race are expecting a Bay run since that's what we had advertised. To switch the game plan to the Gulf would take a lot more effort than most realize and probably piss off a lot of our registered riders.
Support boats, permission from Honey Island Park Rangers, and organizing the finish line after party.
Next year we will not be so dependent on wind direction. We will hold it in the Gulf or Bay, I promise.
Just hang in there guys. We want to make this a great race and not jump into something we weren't planning to run.
Thanks for your patience.

PS
The modeling for my forecast just doesn't look that promising for a Gulf run either.
