    Your Sunny Day

    Oh, do tell me that the sun is shining SOMEWHERE out there. Tell me about your blue skies, not-too-hot-not-too-cold, the fact that you have to wear sunglasses outside, there is actually some sun for your sunscreen to screen...

    My bike to work week goal is SHOT! Maybe tomorrow. The weather guys (who predicted "partly cloudy" today) say only 10% chance of rain. I don't think it's EVER going to stop.

    I realize, however, that this is my fault because I (1) put my summer patio furniture out and (2) switched out my "shorts and tanktops" and "sweaters and long sleeve Ts" shelves.

    Do you really want to hear what a nice, sunny (but very windy), just about getting too hot, but not quite there yet ride I had this morning? And the oh-so-lovely tan lines I've already established because I actually forgot my sunscreen last Saturday and burned my shoulders to a crisp? I didn't think you would...

    Sending some nice weather wishes your way...

    YES!!!!

    (though I'm sorry about the sunburn. shoulders always seem to take it, and the tops of knees)

    Up until last week I could be heard saying "You know, I find that I really don't mind the weather this spring."

    It was the OTHER yellow speaking, I'm sure of it.

    Warm and sunny in Lincoln, Nebraska. Of course, I have stuff that absolutely needs to be done inside today.

    You might try going out for a short ride, just to let the weather gods know that they can't intimidate the likes of you. It works.....eventually.

    Well, after months of rain, including ALL day yesterday, I can actually see some blue sky out here on the N. Ca. coast, so here's hoping it is headed your way. Supposed to actually be warm and sunny this weekend.

    Alert Alert!

    It's not raining this morning, only drearily cloudy. Hope it'll hold out for my ride to work.

    I know what the weather guys say, but I won't believe a sun exists until I see it (though I did see it peek through for about 5 minutes yesterday evening--that must be the "sun" SK heard was coming. I managed to get a 14 mile ride in with only minor sprinkles and wetness).

    In the meantime I'm on TravelZoo-dot-com looking for cheap tickets to go and visit Corsair or maybe skibum (I've never been to Atlanta and would love to go)!

    Thanks for the rain!!

    Hey - Thanks all you No. California girls for pushing your rain north! Had my beautiful morning ride cut short by daughters fall yesterday. The rain started last night, it's just pouring and hasn't stopped yet! Hope it will all blow through by tomorrow. Heads up Canada, it's coming your way next! bikerHen

    You know what is weird? I just spoke to Hubba Bubba in Salt Lake City and he said it was sunny and 88 there yesterday. Since when does SLC get warm before Sacatomatoland?

    Bikerhen - aren't you guys in a world of hurt due to drought? Besides, I want those trails in Bend in tip top world-class gummy shape next week.

    We're actually in flood watch in NO CA because of the heavy snow pack, late rains and suddenly warm weather. Can't believe I'm saying this, but we need the rains to stop for a bit.

    ya'll come on down!

    I've got allergy wipes for the cats and 2 rooms I can shut off for anyone with cat allergies. I have bed space for 11 people and plenty of floor space, got a sweeet 32+ mile ride right on the Rio Grande and we could take a day, drive up to Santa Fe and run around like teenagers! Ya'll can even bring your dogs, enclosed back yard with a dog door......heck bring your cats - I would never know. I've got plenty of garage space for all the bikes and a couple of racks!

    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

    Is it sunny up there yet? It's windy enough down here that it should have pushed the clouds out. So, I think I'll go home and climb our invisible hills.

    You're welcome to come to Atlanta any time! Although I warn you, we're about to hit that hot & humid time of the year. It won't keep me from riding but I'll be jealous of those of you that get much more pleasant temps in the summertime.
