Mr. Weather Please make up your mind!

Yesterday was Gorgeous, actually went rock climbing (trails are still muddy) but this morning I get up and it is raining like...well....all heck its is raining like all heck! (I'm in Youtah and heck is a word saved for the most dire situations).

Now I get to take my beautiful Bontrager out in this hecky weather. Hopefully it is nicer where ever you're at.

There's no place the Bontrager would rather be!

Clean bikes are bored bikes!

A clean bike is also a bike about to be sold. In essence, a sad bike.
Oh yeah, have your 31 bucks ready tomorrow.

unrooted, you are complaining about bad unpredictable weather to the wrong people, as i know a good deal of us are from the midwest and out east. try dealing with 40 degree weather one day and literally ice and 10 degree weather the next. the weather forecasters have been getting so much shit from the public that i think they are giving up.

[phlatlander]

Right on Scott. I actually considered becoming a weatherman after taking a meteorology class (for aviation degree), but soon realized that if I chose to reside here in the midwest, I'd have to work a bit harder to determine the forecast, and have a good chance of being hated by most Kansas Citians. Although getting paid $100K to be right 30% of the time can't be all that bad. Those weathermen in places like San Diego got it easy.

As for clean bikes, mud riding isn't bad in some regions, but a muddy bike around here is a trail eroder, and that's bad. Gotta respect the trail.

Greetings, Scott, from your neighbor on the other end of I-74! The only time we have consistent weather for consecutive days is late winter, during an annual cold and cloudy marathon we've come to know as "Cincinnati Grey."

As if to rub salt in the wound, I recently spent a week in Las Vegas on business...63, sunny and blue skies the whole time, and no bike, of course. When I landed back in Cincinnati....5 degrees and 6 inches of snow with 15 mph winds. GRRRRRR.

Yeah, the weather out here is crazy, I made the mistake of assuming the worst snow was over and put my semi slick tires back on my mtb, si i slide everywhere and it led to an amusing crash today that entailed my disappearing into a trench of snow.
