Rain, rain go away!

[Jo-n-NY]

Could they take ours too? Cold, rainy and SNOW in the forecast for the weekend... It IS New England, but c'mon already!

I agree, although no snow, LI has had cold temps and now rain with more coming in on Sunday (my weekend day off).

Like Jenn, I am not liking spring either!!

Can I add my sentiments to this thread as well?? I'm tired of the cold already! We had about 4 weeks of glorious warm Spring and then all the sudden we get socked with snow, rain, and cold air... BLEHHHH!!!!

My shoulders are still kinda peeling from a sunburn I got a few weekends ago, for cryin out loud..

I'm a wuss too, BTW. Wet? No ridey for my hiney. Cold n wet? My hiney's nice n toasy on the couch while I dream of better days. LOL!!!

I was going to ride again with Trek420 this weekend, but the "test" of sitting on my saddle was NOT satifying.

Gotta rest the tushie one more week...

spass-still-hurts, er, I mean... spazz

[maillotpois]

Well, Spazz, according to the weather projections you're not going to be missing much...

[spazzdog]

I'm thinkin' a good book or movie... on the sofa... while laying on my stomach

[maillotpois]

Well, if you're on your stomach, then sipping a bloody mary through a straw would be super easy.

[spazzdog]

VERY good point MP.... I hadn't fully planned, but now I see my error. I'll have to include cocktails in my "recovery" plan for the weekend.

spazz

[maillotpois]

Cocktails are always part of any good recovery weekend. Or, any weekend in general that contains a Saturday or a Sunday.

bought some freddy fenders yesterday. checked forecast.. many of them (accuweather, wunderground, weather bug) all say 80-90% chance of rain and even chance of t-storms

dang... succumbed and put the fenders on. only the back ones though.

looks like its going to be an... invigorating ride.

(lights incense, chants) This is my offering to the good weather gods....
I'm racing tomorrow and this race last year was the one where we got rain, hail and snow... oh please ye gods of good weather - move that system through a little more quickly so the good weather predicted for Sunday actually occurs tomorrow...... (rings bells, dances in circles...)

[mindfulmer]

Okay, so what is the best thing to wear when it's raining? I've got rainpants but I HATE them! If I sweat at all I'm soaking wet all day -- and then forget taking them off -- I'd freeze! We're going out for a ride tomorrow, it will likely rain, but I'm so sick of those rainpants I'm just going to wear fleece! Wise?

Well, today WAS supposed to be the "warmer" and sunnier day before the storm. It's now 10:40 AM and what sun there was is struggling not to disappear behind the clouds. It's 47, which isn't really bad, but windy. It's supposed to be very sunny, low fifties.
I already ditched a group ride that started at ten. The sun is trying to come back out, so I am now hoping for a 1 PM starts, since I want to do my first over 30 mile ride of the season today.
Tomorrow looks like rain, snow, and wind. Monday doesn't look too good either. I pity the runners in the Marathon Monday. Hopefully, it will clear after that, because i am on break this week.

I'm geared up to join MP at the 200 K mark in Geyserville. Since it's raining, I've worked out how to carry both batteries so I can have lights on for 12 hours. Maybe a dyno hub isn't such a bad idea.

I couldn't find the correct rear fender for Fluffy. I had it in Nova Scotia. I wonder if I left it in my sister's garage. But we're a completely fender enabled family, so I took Thom's. Of course mine were painted and his are silver... but I'll be drier.

Best of luck, V ! Hopefully the rain will have subsided by the time you start out, but the roads will still be wet so you guys be careful out there.

Think of the pancakes ...
