Hey...the countdown continues...or resumes...whatever. Things are looking pretty promising for us to head to New Jersey. As you are all probably aware, Irene didn't amount to as much as expected, even though it did take lives and destroy property. My heart goes out to those families who have lost loved ones as a result of this storm.
Irene hit the New York area as a Tropical Storm rather than a Hurricane, therefore the damage was less than expected in that area. The good news is that many of the cancelled sporting events have been rescheduled...and thus far, cross country mountain bike racing is on schedule!
We found out earlier today, that our hotel suffered a water main break, thus causing a total loss of water to the property. Additionally, the roads leading to the property were closed due to flooding. This evening however, we were informed that the water main had been repaired! The roads however, are still impassable, so how we are going to get there remains to be seen...oh well, its an adventure right?
I'll post from New Jersey in the next day or so. Stay tuned for the adventure!
Good Luck John
