Dear Mother Nature,
There is a fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness".

You know how they have a regularly scheduled Tuesday night chat over on Bike Journal?
I'm thinking we need a regularly scheduled chant session in honor of Mother Nature. Light a few candles, sing a few ditties, prance around in Lycra, whatever works.Frends know gud humors when dey is hear it. ~ Da Crockydiles of ZZE.

She's toying with us in the Midwest too...sunny and dry = freezing cold / warm = torrential rain and tornados.
Won't matter to me soon...I understand it's dry and sunny in AZ a LOT!!

I've been thinking the same thing. This is my last long weekend and I'm running out of time. I have a 100/5 brick on the docket this weekend... I don't really own any cycling rain clothes- I mean I live in AZ!! And the kicker is that they are saying "windy" on the weather reports... That means 20-30+ mph. They call it "breezy" when the winds are less than 20 mph... sigh..
I'm just hoping it all blows in late Saturday so I can at least get a head start outdoors. I swear I will kill myself if I have to spend 6.5 hours on the trainer!!

Mother Nature is a Spoilsport!
Yeah, weather is so freaky all over. We had sunshine yesterday in Salt Lake City and today I woke up to 10 inches of wet, heavy snow outside...there goes my biking day! The birdfeeder had a mob of hungry starlings, wrens, finches, my favorite magpie gang,...in no less than two seconds after I put out some bread, apples and a stick of margerine. The Peanut Butter jar on it's side (a bird's version of McDonald's) was packed and birds fighting to get at it.
I WANNA SOME SUNSHINE!!!!! wAAAAAAAAAh!!!!! My new LaJolla Cruiser is calling meeeeeeeeee.....!

La La La
Found an eggshell in my yard Sunday. Saw the first Wisterias blooming on Monday. Dogwoods and Azaleas are going crazy! Mockingbirds are singing all night. Cardinals are setting up territories. My perennials, both wild and tame, are blooming. I saw some June bugs the other night. Did I mention we are having a cold snap- it only got up to 71 today, but will be 77 tomorrow!!!
BWAAA HAAA HAAA!!!!
Seriously, it's better down South!!***********

A full jar of peanut butter? I'm picturing birds with their wings glued to their bodies like seagulls after an oil spill. Originally Posted by mmelindas

If you invest in very expensive rainclothes, it will never rain again!!

And... when we do have a decent day... the wind is gusting up to 25 mph. I am SO SICK OF RIDING IN A HEADWIND!
I figure by the time the wind stops blowing... I will be FLYING down the road... from all the muscles I built up riding into those headwinds!Last edited by KSH; 03-16-2006 at 12:00 PM.

Mother Nature, thank you, thank you!
You're giving us a break and the Blue Angels just flew past my office window so close I could almost blow kisses to the pilots! One just came by up on his edge.
