Rain Rain Go AWAY!

Black Diamond Bakery . . . one of my favorite stopping spots!

Carnation . . . one of my favorite riding spots!

Glad to see a lot of people got out on their bikes this crazy weather weekend. So, when can we say good bye to this weather pattern? I'm ready for 70 and up temps with plenty of blue sky and sunshine.

Jessica, I read at the cascade forum that the training rides were canceled due to rain. Did you get out this weekend?

No, I didn't. It was raining This Thursday it looks like it's not supposed to rain so I think I'll try to do Tiger Mountain from the house. It's almost 40 miles, with two big hills (one being Tiger Mountain ). I still want to do the 100 mile Flying Wheels ride, but it all depends on the weather and if I get enough training in until then. I think I'll wait to register until the morning of, just in case it ends up raining the day of, because I'm not going to do it if it's raining. The way things have been going, that seems like a very real possibility!

What about you, get any rides in lately? My husband did this 40 mile loop by our house today that's pretty hilly, I'm jealous. I spent the day at the Harborview Trauma Conference instead!

No I didn't get a ride in this Memorial Day weekend. Joe, Jackie, and me went to Spokane to visit Aaron so zero riding accomplished. After work today I went out on my new Cannodale and got 5 miles in before returning home. It began raining and I just didn't feel in the mood for a ride in the rain. My last big ride was Sunday, May 23rd, 85 miles. I'm going to try and ride on Thursday after work (according to the weather report our nicest day this week) and then do either the 70 or 100 mile route of the Peninsula Metric this weekend.

I will keep thinking sun sun sun for your Thursday ride Jessica!

Yay! Finally got to ride outside for the first time in ohhh.... 2 weeks?? I did 45.6 miles, and I would estimate about 3,000 feet of climbing. But I was definitely feeling it and did a much slower pace than usual. However, I did two big hills that always scare me, Tiger Mountain, and 140th. If the weather does what it's supposed to I'll get in two similar rides on Monday and Tuesday (I have to work this weekend). I hope everyone got to enjoy some bike time today, FINALLY!!!

Yeah Jessica! So happy you got out yesterday and rode! It was a beautiful day. I wish I could have gone out first thing in the morning but I had to work. But I did go for a quick 20 mile ride immediately after work. It does look like Monday and Tuesday will indeed be very dry days.

I only have two more weeks of work and then bring on my summer break! I can't wait!
