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]!
