More east coast whining

[Doug Taylor]

Forecast here yesterday evening and today was that the New England nor'easter would miss us and we
had a "30% chance of rain." It rained all night and it's raining as I type. For a "change."

I feel a bond with Bond and the other New Englanders.

Lesson of the day: Wet conditions learn you to keep your wheels perpindicular to the ground. Lean at
the wrong time on the wrong terrain at your own risk.

Finally here down south as well, the past 2 day's have been pushing the 90's, and the local forcast
on the weather channel calls for, and I quote, "Abundant Sunshine" yee haw!

Now that I'm finished mowing the yard, pruning the trees etc, etc. I might get some saddle time in!

It was beautiful this morning, for about 4 hours. Then it started to drizzle.. then pour... then
just be grey, then greyer, then drizzling again... now its raining solidly again. Bah.

Weather this week is supposed to be more rain tomorrow and 60 or so, rain monday AM, and then 90 for
the rest of the week. I should have my seatpost and BB by wednesday, and hopefully I'll get my
wheels built up by next weekend. Here's hoping.

Same here in Southeastern Pennsylvania: slightly overcast, light drizzle, temp around 60....a little
muddy, but otherwise perfect for riding...but it's all going '****' in a few days when we're forcast
to get temps into the 90s...-)

What he said - except that I hac to drive to Vermont to achieve that. In RI it didn't do much until
I came home. Pouring now, cats and dogs all over the place.

Yesterday, 6/21. Good Sunshine at 7:00am overcast and scatter showers sometimes heavy until
about 9:00pm.

I promise not to ***** about the weather again this entire year.....yeah right.

Peace, Bill The mind serves properly as a window glass rather than as a reflector, that is, the mind
should give an immediate view instead of an interpretation of the world.

So Sunday started out cold and wet and ended up dry with temps in the 70's.

Forecast for the rest of the week: hazy, hot, humid, temps in the 90's !! Meaning here in Central NY
we had NO SPRING. From winter to summer in one freaking day. We had maybe one or two days of
sunshine in the 70's, the rest rain or overcast with temps below 60. Now we get the tropical heat
and humidity. I'll take anything without precipitation, but I'm not looking forward to puffing up
hills with 95 deg. temps and 90% humidity.

I'm taking today off due to road race yesterday (it was still too wet to ride off-road so no
flames, please), and will venture into my favorite trail system tomorrow after about 2 weeks of
down time due to rain. I figure the mud will be plentiful but not IMBA prohibited after 2 dry days
in the 90's.

We'll see. But no matter what, it will be heaven to get back into the single track! Amen.

The weather here after a wetter than normal spring in santa fe is beautiful! Moving out here to the Rocky Mountains was the best decision my wife and I ever made. Santa Fe is more like a colorado mountain town than the desert people always envision, although we do have a dry semi-arid climate, it's relatively cool here and has 4 seasons.

Anyhow, I'll try to attach the days weather forecast:

BUT, Taos still does not allow snowboards. Only a few holdouts left: Alta, Mad River Glen. Dumb.
