:) I am going to go on a big hike tomorrow on a couple of the longer mountain bike trails in my favorite park. I've not seen those trails yet so this seems a good time before the winter weather returns. With OUR like, winter will stay away until Superbowl week - or worse yet - it will rain that week :eek:Quote:

And skipping workouts to read novels and soak in the tub.
I too wish the snow would come! I would love to be xc skiing and snow shoe running. And the kids are DYING to make a snowman and to go sledding. I'm sure it will get here soon enough :)
I need to move to the beach, if I never saw a snowflake again in this lifetime I'd be a happy woman.
Pax, you're very welcome to switch places with me. Although I don't know how you'd feel about tropical rainstorms that feel like you're getting pelted with marbles when you get caught on the bike in one... :p It's been blazing hot lately hereabouts, I walk out to get lunch and return with heat induced headaches. Just two weeks ago, it rained for days and days. :eek: Is it me or is the weather getting more extreme these days??Quote:

Dear package gods:
AGAIN? Seriously? This is the third thing that's gone missing. :eek::mad:
At least it wasn't one of my textbooks.
Dear mail carrier:
Why is it that you're able to read the note on the door (the one that tells you to take packages to the office) on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays (the days when I get home before the office closes), but not on Tuesdays or Thursdays? This is getting really irritating.
Dear Weather Goddess:
I am sorry.
I see from the other posts on this thread that this has actually become a nationwide issue and I have to say I feel wholly responsible. Yes, I installed full fenders on my new Volagi. I'm sorry that I presumed that because spring brevet season is usually quite rainy that it would be the same this year. I know you are wildly unpredictable and can do whatever you like with the weather. So of course one should never presume or assume anything where you are concerned.
I took the fenders off. They rattled. Please give us some rain.
Love,
Overly-Prepared MP
You probably have 2 mail carriers.Quote:

We were NOT happy, and neither were the other people. Sadly, I doubt anything was done to keep it from happening again.
MP: LOL!

Dear self:
Please stop obsessing over some thing that's probably in your room at home. Go back for a weekend and look thoroughly...though hopefully when mom's not around, as it will involve stuff ending up everywhere!
Dear Weather Goddess:
Sorry about buying the Swix ski table legs yesterday. I ordered them long ago before I knew you were feeling so out of sorts (I understand, believe me).
What can I do? Leave my car out in the driveway with the sunroof open?

That's it!!! I will park the convertible with the top down!Quote:

Rain will arrive with a vengance, in the Bay Area at least, starting a week from tomorrow.
You're welcome. :rolleyes:
It's the fault of those crazy rando people... Has there EVER been an SF 200K that did not get rain? :DQuote:

You guys doing the SFR brevet? I am doing the SRCC ones because of brewery proximity. And not sure I want to do a 200k 2 weeks in a row.
