2020 TriSTAR
HawkGTRider:
I know it's still a week away, but the weather forecast Memorial Day weekend for the northwest corner of North Carolina is looking very promising. Right now AccuWeather is predicting lows each night around 60, highs around 80, and little, if any, precipitation. I know there's plenty of wet stuff around other areas, but Sparta is looking good!
If you want to come, please give the Alleghany Inn a call asap. Room rates are a reasonable $70-$75 (plus tax). GPS routes are available via a link on the website.

Tim Mullins and i are planning on it!

Well this sucks but Mullins and I are pulling the plug on Tri Star due to weather. I don't mind some rain as long as it not all day or days on end. This looks to be both over the course of the 4 days. I was really looking forward to it too.
HawkGTRider:
The weather forecast for last Saturday at T-32 in NW Arkansas was terrible for Saturday. But most riders saw little to no rain along with some wet roads in places. I wouldn't be too surprised at a similar situation this weekend.
I hope everyone stays safe and makes the best decision they can. If it doesn't work out to come to Sparta, you will be missed.

I know for me it isn't just the weather at the event location, but also on the trip there and back. If there is forecasts of rain every day over 50%, and you are traveling 400 miles (vs 200 or less for people in TN, NC, VA) that makes a big difference.
Couple years ago some rain in WV didn't look too bad on the way to Fall Color ride, then about half way it started raining, and never stopped, and got worse the point where our only choice was stop for the day in Elkins or take the only realistic route for several more hours in the rain riding into the night.
