Your Sunny Day

[Biking Chick]

I'm hoping Nuthatch will post that there is sun in her corner of the world. It would make my day to know that there truly is sunshine somewhere close to my neighborhood. We've endured a week of below normal temperatures - wind and clouds. I'm starting to lose my sense of humor not to mention the fact that my weather triggered migraines have been niggling their way into my world ...

There - I feel so much better for venting!

Thanks ladies

Boohoo! T-storms today, as you probably guessed! But we had lovely weather earlier this week - and Saturday looks fine (so far). We need the moisture down here. Every rain storm this spring has mysteriously divided like the Red Sea around the Chicago area and we are bone dry.

Those weather headaches are a pain in the booty - I almost fell over today with all the head pressure - it makes you feel all woozy and you can't think in a straight line either! But migraines - ugg, that's got to be the worst.

We've had alot of grey, cold weather just like you and I guess most of the Cali girls - it's mighty discouraging and anyone even slightly prone to SAD (like me) feels like getting in the bed and pulling the covers over their heads!!! And that April warm/dry spell was just a teaser!

Nuts ... I was hoping you were having nice(er) weather. Looks like we need to make a road trip to the Land of Enchantment!!

Saturday is looking decent here as well - keeping my fingers crossed.

With all the rain we've been having the last three days everything is an incrediable shade of green. With the mist, low clouds and beautiful green I can pretend I'm in Scotland

Yeah, why is that misty cool weather so much more enjoyable in Scotland? I guess because if we were there we'd be having wee drams o' whiskey and lots of vacation dollars to spend with the prospect of the sunny ol' USA to return to in about two weeks! That, and they have castles. Castles make up for alot of yucky weather.

Land of enchantment....ahhh! We could all use some baking desert heat about right now, Corsair! Can you help???

Well, today it rained but tomorrow it is supposed to be warm and sunny and the forecast for the next 10 days is the same. My sister and I are going down to the Salinas Valley on Saturday for a ride and they're saying it should be sunny and in the 80's. I hope your weather gets better - nothing is more irritating than wanting to ride but having wretched weather.

Castles make up for a lot of yucky anything! I would love to live someplace like that - though I have always wondered how I would take the weather there. Maybe there rain and mist is somehow different. It is to be expected so isn't as bad?

Well, our flawlessly sunny day didn't turn out quite so sunny but it was really nice to have warm, dry weather to ride!

My ride partner and I had loni0908k along with us for the ride! It was sooo cool to actually meet one of the TE members in person. And we all survived our 75+ mile ride (a first for all of us). Now we just have to do it two days in a row next month. Are there enough aspirins and energy bars in the world to do the job?

Especially since our favorite ice cream shop opens next week-end. I'm dreaming of almond joy ice cream ...

Almond joy ice cream? MMMMMM!! How many miles do I have to ride to get a scoop of that as a reward, BC?

Nuthatch ... it is so sinful (one of those ice creams that probably has 38% butterfat) ... my theory is any amount of biking time spent working off Almond Joy ice cream (from the ice cream shop in Elcho, WI) is better than sitting around thinking how good that second scoop was!

Awesome on the week-end ride! I hope those of us who reside in the midwest can pick a date/time for a TE members ride.

Since you survived the 75+ mile ride I know you can definatley 'bank that ride' towards almond joy ice cream.

Feeling so much better having confessed to that double scoop

It's been very pretty down here in Dallas, TX. Mid-80's in the afternoon, with a nice breeze.

OF course, the weather guy says it's going to be a high of 96 tomorrow and 99 on Sunday. Guess I'll ride early those days. I'm so excited about riding this weekend!

And can I just say this ... why didn't anyone TELL me how COOL that cycling is?!?!? And how great it feels?? How dare these people keep this great truth from me! I wish I had started years ago.

Sunny and "warm" in Phoenix! Summer has arrived, and we got out of school just in time. With school out, I can get up at the crack of dawn and head out when the temperature is only 85.

After five days of warm early winter rain - we have a brilliant day here, with more rain forecast for tomorrow, so nhave been stuck inside on the trainer listening to Indigo Girls, U2 and George Thorogood... It was great to get outside on the bike today

[nuthatch]

Woohoo!!! Sunny and 70 here in Chicagoland today - I'm off to ride a practice run of the MS150 route!! Rain will be back tonight so I'm gonna make hay while the sun shines!

Ride a few miles for me Nuthatch - we're enjoying a week-up 'up north' with son's #1 & #2 and 7 dogs! Will be doing a bit of spring clean-up such as mowing the lawn, cutting brush from around a couple of the apple trees and plowing, disking and picking rock on a couple of new food plots for the wildlife. Hopefully getting projects completed this week-end will allow us some fun time over the holiday week-end. Especially since our favorite ice cream shop opens next week-end.

Another U2 Fan!!! In case anyone is wondering ... after two days of normal temps we are back to the cool, misty weather that has a bit of a stiff breeze mixed in for good measure.

Looks like I'm back to castles and wee drams ... for any of you ladies who enjoy celtic music check out Steve McDonald's cd's. Great for trainer tunes
