Craig's Where to Ride 8/31

Postby Craig Goudie » Sun Aug 31, 2008 8:49 am

Windy today! Grantsville is already cranked up in the 4.5 range and might stay that way
till 1 or 2 PM. SUlfur is also up now and will stay up all day for 5.5 rides, with interspersed
rain (and associated lulls). DC looking like it'll be up around 11 AM and provide gusty
rides in the 6.5 range. Mona and MM19 good possibilities for PM rides in the 6.5 range.
If you're Kiting be prepared for an occasional wild gust and dead lull from near by t-heads.
Expect to be rained on at some point.

Tomorrow looks like a PM North switch, and solid 9M Kiting at all UL launches, but steadiest
near the South end. Maybe a chance for a dip down into the "trainer Kite" range around
4 PM. Once again you will get rained on, but there'll be less rain on the PM side so I'd
go later. WIndsurfers look for 5.5 action at Saratogs Springs park or the PBH. SUlfur
should also be pretty good on a dead West in the 5.5 range as the rain clears out late afternoon.
DC will be up early (11AM)in the 6.5 range, but will degrade rapidly and become very gusty/holey.
It's going to hit a high of 65 degrees at UL so figure on late fall conditions and dress accordingly
on and off the water.

Tuesday looks like the flow remains North, and should provide more ridable conditions at UL
launches with warmer drier air.
