I can hear Monk crying from here

IMAZ weather forcast doesn’t look so good.

From Weather.com

BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ACROSS MOST OF SOUTHEAST CALIFORNIA… SOUTHWEST AND SOUTH-CENTRAL ARIZONA TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY. A LARGE PACIFIC STORM SYSTEM WAS ALREADY MOVING ACROSS CENTRAL CALIFORNIA. THE ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL LIKELY KICK UP THE WINDS FIRST ACROSS SOUTHEAST CALIFORNIA AND NEAR THE COLORADO RIVER TONIGHT AND INTO FRIDAY. WINDS OF 20 TO 30 MPH ARE EXPECTED… WITH SOME STRONGER GUSTS. FOR SOUTH-CENTRAL ARIZONA… EXPECT WINDS TO PICK UP ESPECIALLY ON SATURDAY… WHEN A REINFORCING SURGE OF COOLER AIR ARRIVES. AREAS OF BLOWING DUST MAY OCCUR WITH THE STRONGEST WINDS. TEMPERATURES WILL DROP SHARPLY BY SATURDAY… WITH MOST DESERTS HOLDING IN THE MID 70S.

He looked happy this morning. Perhaps he didn’t hear a weather report yet. As hot as it is here, the athletes might welcome cooler temps.

But its a Dry Heat…

Glad to hear he is in good spirits. The temps will be nice but 30+mph winds would kill me.

Everyone is going to be too busy turning corners and avoiding drafting to worry about wind. Zipp is renting discs for the race. :slight_smile:

Wow…didn’t realize IMAZ was so soon! Hope they have a good safe weekend. Just the thought of a disc in the wind.

KICK ASS IMAZers!!!

woo wee! IT IS HOT HERE!

drove the bike course one last time (actually to show my wife and her mum) and the outside temp based on the car was 103 Deg

She’s a warm one - but the nice thing is - the predicted 75 degrees is going to be very comfortable after these past few days and tomorrow.

Scary thing is - a LOT of people were out hammering the bike course today - it is one thing to ride it to keep loose - but they were treating it like a hard training session.

Good luck to all the other St’ers racing Sat too!

See you at the start line

Glad to hear he is in good spirits. The temps will be nice but 30+mph winds would kill me.
