AFTER CHECKING THIS MORNING'S RADAR I SEE THAT THERE IS A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM SOUTH OF JERSEY. THIS SYSTEM WILL ARRIVE HERE AROUND NOON AND BRING WITH IT SHOWERS AND STRONG WINDS. THE 20MI BOUY OFF FIRE ISLAND HAS AT THIS TIME WINDS SUSTAINING 25MPH FROM THE SE. THIS WILL INCREASE AS THE SYSTEM MOVES CLOSER TO LAND THIS PM. BAROMETRIC PRESSURE HAS DROPPED 2 POINTS SINCE 6AM AND CONTINUES TO FALL INDICATING THAT THIS PM WILL NOT BE SUSTAINABLE FOR AN AFTERNOON BIKE RIDE. ALSO THE LEAVES OF THE ELM TREE ARE TURING UPSIDE DOWN SEEKING THE LIQUID THAT WILL BE FORTHCOMING. ADDITIONALLY THE ROCK OUTSIDE IS WET AND MAY START TO MOVE, THEREFORE I AM CANCELLING THIS RIDE. LET'S HOPE NEXT WEEK BRINGS BETTER WEATHER.

Take this afternoon ride of 20-25 miles on a route to be determined. NOTE: FREE PARKING IS NOW IN EFFECT! Approximate pace of 11.5mph. NO ONE LEFT BEHIND. Any cancellation by 12:30am.
