    Weather strikes again

    Another ride ruined by Mother Nature tonight. Wait all day then we get downpours. Loving it. No big mileage year this season.

    This is the first bike I have ever owned; that I don't fret over... if I get caught in the rain. Though purposely riding into anticipated rain does suck.

    Getting caught and watching a downpour before you even get to it are two different things. It was a supper ride with others, not the kind of night I need to get soaked for. Disappointing still. It was a great day until one hour before work ended.

    You know what they say about someone who hasn't got the common sense to come in out of the rain.
    I'm sure glad to hear some of my friends have the common sense not to go out into it.

    Why subject yourself to the equivalent of waterboarding?

    Like the song says "the sun will come out tomorrow," tomorrow or maybe they meant to say next week.

    Sounds like a good reason to move. (BTW---I spent my time in New England back in the winter of 1972-73) The only advantage of living there is the cheap auto insurance and taxes. Oh WAIT! never mind

    It's the rainy season here in FLA...and not soon enough, we have been so dry the fires are crazy! We have a thunderstorm and a lighting bolt starts a fire. We need a hurricane to get caught back up with the rain we need!

    I ride at night during this time of year, so I leave about 8-9 pm and ride for a 100 miles or so. At least I'm not wet from sweat!!!
