  1. 'I wanna know... whoooooo'll stop the rain?'

    It just won't stop. For the past 3 weeks the only
    times the rain [or even snow] has stopped has been
    when I had to work.

    I want to hit the trails. Getting antsy.

    *sigh*

    No need to stop it, just send it to us! (Here In Minnesota). Been a little dry, and we could certainly use it. 😄

    Ride now. On roads, in the rain.

    I know I can ride in the rain and I don't mind it when its
    warm but with temps hovering around freezing it's not
    exactly what I was hoping for. Plus I really want to hit
    the off-road trails and you should give some drying time
    for those.

    *sigh*

    Summer _is_ coming. I _know_ it is!

    Agreed. And the rain has been constant here except when I'm
    at work or in school or otherwise obligated.

    For the sake of the trails, yes, so you don't erode them
    terribly. If they're doomed either way, just go out there,
    hose/wipe your bike after each ride, and do a good cleaning
    after the rainy season ends.

    I sure hope so. I'm tired of being cold.

    Shortly after we stopped having temps far below freezing
    every day here, 40 degree F days felt great. Now that I've
    stopped being used to the ludicrous cold, the moderate
    cold (especially combined with so much rain) is feeling
    very cold...

    I just want 65 or 70 degrees F and a light breeze. Is
    that too much to ask? I'd also settle for 55 and sunny
    with no breeze...

    Can I funnel it through usenet? I've got the same rain here.

    I sympathize.

    It's raining here again this morning as I type these words.
    Looks like a truck ride to work again instead of the bike.

    I ride a bike all winter and don't really have a
    problem. However, cold, early spring rains I simply will
    not tolerate.

    Later in the summer, a good ride home (especially) in the
    rain wearing my Tevas, deliberately riding through the
    puddles of warm water is a simple joy.

    But not in March/April/May [around these parts]!
