Remain calm, it’s raining pretty steadily out there and it’s currently at 40% chance of rain as it has been this far out on probably 50% of previous Coast to Coast Twistybutts and we can always hope that with several different weather zones, there’s ever better riding just over the ridge.

But over the ridge into Gotemba and the clouds were higher and holes were being poked in the cloud cover.

So, best not be taking the forecasts too seriously or jumping to tragedies just yet. It’s still early days.

Best save your focus and optimism for the omnipotent guardians and enablers of the Roadwarrior, the Weather Gods!

Let’s have copious offerings and boisterous praise and pleads. Fire, chant, break stuff, masks.. no freaky monstrosity style ones… and song with sacrifice… Whatever gets it done for you!

Now’s the time to prep, be realistic, keep researching the route and making sure you are ready and the Weather Gods will be with us. 🤞
