Reply With QuoteI like it, just don't like it for 5 months out of the year. Hence the reason I moved to the south. Of course now if it snows everything gets shut down.

I, on the other hand, am looking forward to fall/winter because soon I won't have to get up at the crack of dawn so I can ride!

(and I'm freezing right now. I think it's 56 degrees out - and in. I need my space heater! And the sleeveless twin six jersey I wanted just came in so it better warm back up again for at least one day...)

I am loving this weather. If only it weren't raining so I could go out for a ride... I don't want to think about driving to class in winter, though. Originally Posted by Catrin

At least I don't leave slime trails.

I've a campsite reserved this weekend, am hoping the rain doesn't continue. It hasn't been a substantial rain however so I doubt it is going to impact the trails much at all, especially as dry and hot as it has been. Thankfully they drain very well, outside of Pine Loop. Originally Posted by Owlie

If this continues I will be in spinning class tonight for the first time in a LONG time! My body isn't ready yet to ride in drizzle, windy, <70 degree temps

Winter? We haven't broken 100F all summer and it looks like we are now on track to do so this weekend. Summer decided to come VERY late for us this year!

I'M SO PEEVED! We had a huge hail storm at our house yesterday and it stripped all the leaves off of all my plants, including my vegetable garden. Argh, just when we get the best of our harvest in this short season climate
