I just came on to post the same thing!!! Sat looks okay - 1mm will be fine and just cool us down!!! But 5-10mm on Sunday will be miserable! Good thing the long range forcasts are rarely accurate!!

I felt sure there would be a ban on umbrellas this year, since they were so treacherous on the route last year on Sunday. When I called the weekend office to ask about it, I was told this was not something they were of aware of, or that had been discussed.

Dodging umbrellas while walking was not a good experience. We were all tired & I'm sure some of the people that were carryng umbrellas were not even aware of the problems that the umbrellas created.

I will have some of the pink ribbon rain ponchos with me at day 1 at the Trade Secrets pit stop at lunch...please look for my tent beside thiers.
I'm not sure quite how many as it depends how many are left by Friday.
I can still get them out to you in time if you email me by tomorrow at rmellon@rogers.com

Jane, like you, I also hated the umbrellas that were out last year. I understand the weather was horrible, and I understand we were all soaked but the umbrellas were a real pain in the a$$ to walk around... and really, most people didn't have a whole lot of consideration to those of us without umbrellas !
I first hope that it doesn't rain this year and if it does, I hope people wear ponchos and not umbrellas!!

I bought 2 of Randy's poncho's. The last thing I want to do is carry an umbrella..ugh. Ponchos make far more sense and they keep you much drier than an umbrella would anyway.

I didn't see anyone with umbrella's around me last year, but yeah, that would be a real pain to try to walk around people weilding one of those! lol..... Trying to dodge getting hit. I always just wear and poncho, and hope for the best (and that my face doesn't turn pink from my semi-permanent hair dye) lol.

Wanna hear something funny.
Last year, at the last minute I wrote my name on my white shirt with a SHARPE. After a day of rain, I had my name BRANDED on my bare chest - yes, it transfered onto my body.
It took a good 4 days before it washed away !!

hahahahaha
