Bike Week 2008 Has Begun~How's The Weather?

Welcome to Bike Week 2008! The first weekend of Bike Week looks to be absolutley beautiful for riding, sunny and warm.

Good news after the last couple days of highs in the 40s and 50s.

My favorite WX site to use to check our local forcast is from the National Weather Service but for some reason today they are using New Smyrna Beach Municipal Airport for our current conditions.

The weather in Volusia County can really vary from town to town, area to area. I prefer to get my temparture & forcast from no further away then the Daytona Beach International Airport. They may change it back, there may be trouble with the local reporting station?

There is rain in our forcast for the middle of next week and the NWS radar site is great. The closet radar for Daytona is the Melbourne, FL Radar, but it covers a wide area and has a "Loop" mode so you can almost determine when the rain will end.

This radar site will also show you if there are any watches or warnings in effect with watch or warning boxes. If you look at the the left side of the screen you can click on the Tampa Bay Radar to see if the rain is coming from the west and how long it will take to end.

Another site you can check is My Ride On My Fox, not only does it have weather updates, but Event Updates, photos, places to visit and messages boards.

Don't forget, Big Mike Griffin will be at the Broken Spoke in Ormond Beach on US 1 starting this Sunday at 1pm!

Come on down and see us!

Enjoy your ride! And for those of you in a cage, look twice and drive with caution. Make this Bike Week Safe!
