10 days out the weather can certainly change, but the forecast for Lewisburg looks good now although a touch on the cool side. Compliments of Accuweather:
Friday-cloudy with a high of 67 and a low Friday night of 42.
Saturday-more sun with a high of 69 and a low Saturday night of 50.
Sunday-some clouds and sun with a high of 67 and a low Sunday night of 50.
That actually sounds pretty good to me.
touringman:
AAAAHHHH! Now you guys have actually gone and said the "W" word ??? . I'm always cautious how I use that word out loud. That said, I to have been tracking ACCU Weather ;) . We'll see, but 50's and 60's works much better for me than 90 to 100! Syd

Time to put away my vented gear.

I've not been able to attend a FCR for a few years, but I remember leaving early one year when the forecast showed a strong possibility of white frozen stuff falling from the sky. It was pretty darned chilly when I left, but turned out to be a really pleasant day once I got 50-100 miles south of the site. Now located at a different site and a little earlier in the autumn season, I think that particular scenario is much less likely to happen.
I'm scheduled to work on Friday, but I'd sure like to buzz on up that way for the rest of the weekend. We'll see.

Yes Geoffrey, I too have heard these tales of snow at FCR - but that was in the old location. The bigger issue now I think is the non-white precipitation, which cut my trip short last year. The plus was rode only half day in the rain back to NE Ohio, the minus was only rode in the event area for day and half. That time of year, weather is a crap shoot, but having said that, I rode 12 days before Christmas last year - way up here in Michigan. It was chilly, and a little wet, but no snow on the ground. See you in Lewisburg if you can make it.
