I will be there but I'll be hustling to get there by 7.
I haven't seen much publicity for the ride beyond this group (typically groups are read only by a very small number of people) so coupled with the weather my guess is somewhere in the 50-70 range.

I was just about to post the Yehuda link when I saw yours. The Evanston ride will take place rain, shine or moon. Nice misty ride in this morning.
