Would hate to lose a favorite ride, especially when we may be running out of daylight soon.

Just this week Rob, I have a Disaster Recovery exercise for work. I have no idea what my hours are going to be this week. With my luck it will be 3pm to 3am. This series will continue through the winter.

ATM, the 18 hour forecast has the Heavy Rain along with 25+ MPH winds starting at 1PM going through 11PM. That's opposed to the 'rain' from 4am to noon, or the 'light rain' prior.
LOL, I'm new to biking, not rain. ;) IMHO that's too much, especially factoring in the wind.
Thinking I'll add some stationary cycle time to my Tuesday gym routine. ;)

No sweat Chris. Whatever you decide. Forecast shows 100% chance of rain from 8a.m. to 11p.m. Die-hard bikers will face 20 to 25mph wind on the way back while soaking wet. If that's recreational I'm off beat. I prefer to take a nap. But that's just me.
