Happy almost summer, fellow NW Gals. isnt this weather something?

I was really hoping we were done with the 40's, bah humbug.
I got into my full winter regalia to ride to work this morning; hat, raincoat, rainpants, long fingered gloves.... and my hands were still cold!

It was good of you to ride. Yesterday we were in a convergence zone at home so I went from work (not raining) to torrential downpour and semi-flooded roads

On the upside, DH got me a "commuter" type bike. The mixte has fenders but it's a bit small for me and I hate to abuse it. DH found a hardtail mtn bike (forget the brand) with Shimano 105's (I think) at a yard sale. It wasn't rideable so he got it for a good price but he's cleaning it up and replacing parts and it is looking darned pretty

Isn't it crazy??? It would be LOVELY to have consistant weather! 100 degree one week...then 45 and raining the next is just CRAZY!!!!

I'm tired of the color GRAY!!!


Yesterday I went riding with Sprocketsmom....we were at her house wondering if we could ride or not......it wasn't raining at that moment..so we said..LETS DO IT.....we changed into our gear....then it was pouring.....we stood under her porch and 30 seconds later it stopped....so we headed out....and it didn't rain (except for about 2 min half way thru) for most of the trip...it turned into a very nice ride!

Ahhhhhh! PNW springs!! If you don't like the weather, wait five minutes...it's bound to get worse!!
It's tough to get the mold to dry out when it's so darned cold!!!

I'll trade ya - we're in for a week of near 100 degrees + bad air quality + no rain. UGH. GLC - don't you miss it?? NOT!

I think I've got mold in my lungs... or moss.
's putting a serious damper on the stp training plans.

and this weather is supposed to continue for the next week!!!

[Eden]

uuuugh I'd even take 100 degrees if it meant some SUN! Somehow yesterday I managed to get my 3.5 hour training ride right into the 4 hour window of dry weather though. Take that mother nature!

Sure would be nice if it'd at least be up in the 50s in the mornings! I'm only *just* getting back into commuting for this year in the last few weeks, mostly because I'm a wimp and therefore kept stalling thinking for sure it'd warm up and stop raining soon. Now I'm tired of waiting. But bleh. It's better than extreme heat, for sure, but...bleh. Full-fingered gloves and leggings this morning for me, too.

I'm awfully tired of still having to keep the heat on, too....

*waves to everyone - been awhile since I stopped by!*

[lph]

hmm? what was that? It's so hot here, I have trouble concentrating... Rode to work in a tank top cos short sleeves are just too hot. Almost went and jumped in a lake on my commute home yesterday - without getting off my bike.

Actually we had lovely weather when we were in Seattle..for one day..However on the day we left it rained but we still walked to Stumptown coffeeeeeeee mmmm..

NOw if i could just remember the name of the cafe accross the street from the Hotel Andre that sells the yummy chocolate..mmmmm...

Seattle=coffeeee & chocolate

Btw..I can send you some lovely sunshine & 20C temps..

[cosc]

Rain, rain go away. My son said yesterday we were living in Washington. Sounds like Tour de Kota starting this weekend should be renamed Tour de Rain.

[mimitabby]

where do you live, Cosc?

The truth is, I settled here because I like the weather too. I grew up in NJ BAC (Before Airconditioning) and couldn't stand the summers, even as a young adult. But this spring here is rather extreme! I'm hoping for 50's. today it was 49, a slight improvement over yesterday

Anyone who is familiar with our climate knows that June is grey normally.
but so cold too??

Same just across the ditch in Auckland.............. sunny weather & 16-17c........lovely winter cycling weather

although, it's suppose to rain tomorrow which is fine because we sure need it........... yet again the talk on the news is about power cuts this winter because the hydro lakes in the south island are too low.............

My SIL lives in Portland and she too is a little jaded with the summer weather at the moment

[salsabike]

Auggh! Who's ALLOWING this weather? Wow. It is repellent out there right now. Cold. Windy. Raining. Bleah.

I still love it here, though.
