The reason, hurricane Sandy is banging about and as a result there is currently a Tropical Storm warning in place in West Palm Beach (Florida), where I currently am.
I have been glued to the TV most of the night and it seems
that, the hurricane is not expected to hit Florida, however the effects will be
felt on land and I may be forced to sit out the storm for two days. As the hurricane passes east of the coast,
winds are expected to reach 40-50 mph and expect that it will be nearly
impossible to cycle in those conditions (even though they’re forecasting
tailwinds).
The good news is that I am ahead of schedule, the bad news
is I won’t get my planned pootle through the Florida Keys; assuming the
forecasts are accurate!
This song sums it up nicely
So the plan? That’s
easy, I’ll get up in the morning and get ready as if I was going to cycle. Then I will watch a bit more of the Weather
Channel and look out the window before making a decision. Looking at the map, I have plenty of options
for accommodation, but rest assured I won’t be riding if I can’t keep Holly in
a straight line (especially with the drivers of Florida around me)
