I'm with you Susan! Beautiful bike btw... but I am frustrated with this weather, as you already know. Buying a rain only bike would not get me out in it though, so I commend you for being so willingI'm sure the east side of Washington won't be raining though, they're lucky over there in that regard.

It's been raining over here pretty much all week, too and supposed to rain most of the weekend.

It's mostly been showers intermixed with sprinkles and bouts of hard rain, but definitely no clear skies to speak of for a bit now (and even then there were threatening clouds). It's been a "squeeze in a mostly dry ride here or there once or twice" kind of week. In fact most of the month has been like that, spot days of sun here and there, one hot weekend, otherwise threatening clouds and/or rain, 30-100% chance of precipitation. That said, we probably do have it a little better than you.
Aside from the fact that I'll have to consider sprinklers and lawn care, I'm all for spring turning a little more into summer.

bmccasland, don't let them scare you. The PNW is paradise! I would move back there in a second.
It's been a wacky year for weather all over the place. And yes, these late spring rains are strange, but if you move you'll probably go through a period of adjustment adapting to a different climate and different seasons anyway.
I hope you all get some good riding days in soon! I'm doing southern Vancouver Island this weekend, rain or shine, and I am woefully out of shape!2014 Bobbin Bramble / Brooks B67
