It just won't stop. For the past 3 weeks the only times the rain [or even
snow] has stopped has been when I had to work.

I want to hit the trails. Getting antsy.

No need to stop it, just send it to us! (Here In Minnesota). Been a
little dry, and we could certainly use it.

Ride now.
On roads, in the rain.

I know I can ride in the rain and I don't mind it when its warm but with
temps hovering around freezing it's not exactly what I was hoping for. Plus
I really want to hit the off-road trails and you should give some drying
time for those.

*sigh*

Summer _is_ coming. I _know_ it is!

Agreed. And the rain has been constant here except when I'm at work
or in school or otherwise obligated.

For the sake of the trails, yes, so you don't erode them terribly.
If they're doomed either way, just go out there, hose/wipe your bike
after each ride, and do a good cleaning after the rainy season ends.

I sure hope so. I'm tired of being cold.

Shortly after we stopped having temps far below freezing every day
here, 40 degree F days felt great. Now that I've stopped being used
to the ludicrous cold, the moderate cold (especially combined with
so much rain) is feeling very cold...

I just want 65 or 70 degrees F and a light breeze. Is that too much
to ask? I'd also settle for 55 and sunny with no breeze...

I sympathize.

It's raining here again this morning as I type these words.
Looks like a truck ride to work again instead of the bike.

I ride a bike all winter and don't really have a problem.
However, cold, early spring rains I simply will not tolerate.

Later in the summer, a good ride home (especially) in the
rain wearing my Tevas, deliberately riding through the puddles
of warm water is a simple joy.

But not in March/April/May [around these parts]!
