    Default Sylvan Island ready today?

    If one was so inclined to go riding today at around 4:00, would those who keep a pretty good eye on the Island feel that it'll be ready for bikes? Debating on whether or not I'm going to pack a bag and bike before heading to work...

    I would say more likely than not it will be OK by 4. If so, I'll be there also.

    Anyone know exactly how much rain we had yesterday/ last night?

    Edit: National weather service shows Rock Island/ Moline received less than .25 and at least .10 of an inch. That's not much considering how dry it has been.

    I may have to grow old, but I'll never have to grow up.

    Gospel truth! 25 miles today and the last 6.5 done in 40 minutes trying to follow you speed demons around! Now if only I can keep that pace during the race...
