I've stayed reasonably dry only because I've beaten the rain by getting home before it starts
,
Otherwise I would look like a river rat.
Still, I like rain, it's in my blood

Yes, our solid, gray, continual cloud cover.

no, there are MUCH worse things than our grey skies.
How about 100 degrees every day for weeks? ugh.
I'll take this weather ANY time. you can go riding in grey
but can you go riding in Thunderstorm weather? or tornado weather?
or 30mph prevailing winds
or 100 deg and 80% humidity??

I'm willing to admit there is worse. I also have lived where it was far better! Originally Posted by mimitabby

Or our weeks of gloom and rain in November not to mention wind storms that knock out power for days . . . weeks! Fallen trees, debris . . . let's hope this winter will be a nice one. I think we deserve a nice winter after our wet summer! Add nice fall to that too!
It's pretty humid right now but no precip! And the sun is trying! I may have to go for a ride this afternoon. You gals that ride in the rain are hard core bad a#%es! I'm a big gutless chicken when the pavement is wet. But I can blame this fear on a bad accident 5 years ago while riding in the rain. I've never gotten over that crash.
I'll never forget the year when hubby and I did the TOSRV-West (double century from Missoula, Montana to Big Fish, Montana and back) in 2003. The last 30 miles of day one it started to rain and I was a nervous wreck. If it weren't for my hubby I would have been crying on the side of the road waiting for the rain to stop and the roads to dry. But he stayed right by my side with encouraging words.
