Yes, beautiful dry spring here but we need the rain/snow! I'm worried that one of my favorite riding spots might be closed this summer . . . Devil's Gulch near Cashmere! NOOOOOOOO Hubby and riding friends of ours, we've all been talking about an early spring trip (this month or next) to do a Devil's Gulch weekend, just in case. I want to try out my new fuel EX7 WSD trek on that trail!
Also, Mount Saint Helens is spewing again. Lost Plains of Abraham and Ape Canyon . . . great epic rides

The west coast contigent is trying to torture those of us in more northerly climates! Ohio had snow and high winds and it's only 14 degrees here this morning. But I'm still in the shopping mode for a new bike, so I probably wouldn't be out right now, even if it was nice. (Who wants to ride the old bike, when there is a new one in sight??) And I agree with MomOnBike, I dread the onset of heat. Anything over 72 degrees is too hot for me, so my envy for the west coasters is limited. But I think we all share the same spring fever virus, no matter where we live!

Mother Nature
She sure is moody this spring! I feel for you guys back east. I was born and raised in Pittsburgh. My folks, one sis, one brother still live there and my other sis lives in Iowa. So I know how tough your winter/spring is. I hear it every weekend when I phone one of them. I'm also a little afraid that with all this wonderful weather we may have to "pay back" this summer. Maybe with a cool wet summer? But I take each day as it comes and try not to worry too much.
So cyclingnewbie, which bikes are you looking at? See anything that you really like?
And sweating? I love it. Bring on the heat! LOL

So far, I've looked at Trek, Giant and Cannondale. This Saturday I'm looking at, at least, Bianchi and the Trek again. At this point my best choices are the Trek 1200 or a Cannondale something or other, but it's too soon to narrow it down to a decision. I am particularly anxious to look at the Bianchi because of their reputation as having a slightly shorter top tube on their frames. I need a big frame for my legs, which makes the top tube too long on many of the ones I've tried so far. But I really liked the Trek.
