Rain, rain, rain!!

[wabisabi]

The fall here, which is glorious, seems to be coming to a close. It's been raining for virtually the last 8 days. I've gotten caught in it a couple of times, but at least yesterday I was prepared. This particular one is called a "Pineapple Express" meaning that it comes via Hawai'i and so is relatively warm and very tropically wet. I went to a 2 hr. Enduro spin class because it was just pouring. Oh, well, the redwoods surely love it and the plants are quite happy. Are you bay area-ites getting this down there too?

Not quite located in the Bay Area, but was yesterday for our Mt. Hamilton ride. It was gloriously sunny and fairly warm. Today, it is clouding up and somewhat windy. Trainer is set up but I can't convince myself it get on it.

I think we're supposed to get it tomorrow, although my sinuses say no. (Yup, they act like a barometer.... :rolleyes: )

It was raining on my drive back from the airport in Oakland. My fenders went on today, so at least I'll still get a few outside miles every day. And Thom's mountain bike is in the trainer. It's nice riding the same size bike!

We got rain here in the Central Valley of CA today, but no riding for me, trainer or otherwise. I had to work on my paper for Philosophy. Bummer! At least I got a 50+ miler in yesterday - was a bee-utiful one. The leg warmers came off halfway through. :)

North Bay Barometer says WET, with scattered moistness throughout the day. Did I say wet? We're expecting almost 3" today :eek: (yeah, I did a double take, too - isn't it a bit early for this?)

[wabisabi]

Sounds like there were some good rides going on! Yes, I also hauled out the fenders and other rain equipment over the weekend. Although I live very close to work, it is still daunting to face the cold and wet early in the am to commute.

It does seem like an early rainy season--I haven't even brought in the outside hammock yet.

Yes, Wabisabi, you live in the "rain forest" area of CA! We just get a meer 30 inches of rain a year while you up there must get about 75!!!!!

We'll get some of the Pineapple Express later today, tonight, and maybe a bit tomorrow. I'm looking forward to the fresh air after a first rain of the season- cleans out the dust and the smog (for at least a few days!)

Come on down for a weekend if you have time and we'll take you riding in the winter sun! :) :) :) :) :)

[wabisabi]

You know, I may just have to take you up on that! Happily, it is actually sunny, if a bit cool, today. If the academic senate gets their work done early (dream on), I might be able to bug out for a short ride.

Wabasabi- The door is always open to my TE friends! Feel free to come down anytime! :) :) :) :) :)

P.S. We did get rain, but most of it happened in the night so riding in the day was warm and dry! :D :D :D
