"Riders on the Storm"--(although if might give some of us flashbacks)
I actually managed to ride yesterday, with 30 mph headwinds coming back (thank goodness for drafting), spitting rain and cold. One local LBS owner riding with us was a fount of information, telling us that this is the most we have had up north here since 1878. I heard southern Humboldt had something like 89 inches of rain.

The thing is that's in my top 3 favorite movies, so once you get me started, it is hard to stop...Sarah

Well it's lunch time and I'm stuck indoors as its raining pretty good right now outside my office building. Can't complain. Rain is really needed. Little or no wildflowers blooming in the hills here although they are finally starting to come up. Don't mind the rain... during the week... but hate it on the weekend. Oh well summer and dry weather will be here soon enough.

I've begun to loathe rain whenever it happens. 30 5th graders stuck inside all day is no fun. Not getting to ride is no fun.

30 5th graders inside all day sounds pretty stinky.
A farm levee down by the Consumnes broke today. We got severe weather alerts for flash flood, thunderstorms and funnel clouds over most of the Central and Sacramento valleys. The flowers aren't blooming because it is too cold and wet. They're releasing more water from the reservoirs. Huge snow pack. I think we'll be OK it stops now.Frends know gud humors when dey is hear it. ~ Da Crockydiles of ZZE.

Now that we've finally got a little break in the rain I was able to take a long route home from work this evening and met an old riding buddy I haven't seen in a long, long time...

Also fairly appropriate for today...
This weather stinks. I thought I had *left* Portland.

Went for a ride anyway. Rained some, but not too much. Did 20 easy miles. Only one major hill and some rollers. Boy, 3 weeks off the bike makes a huge difference! I'm in poor, poor shape!
