I should be kinda busy the next two weekends, but if you're up for an evening ride, let me know. Next month, I will have a lot more time on my hands hopefully since the school session will be over.

The only evening rides yer gonna get from me are after midnight . That's when I get off work.

Well, if you want a morning ride, I can do that more days during the summer when the school session is out. Right now, I only work Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I will be ready. Midnight rides...sounds like fun...especially since the nights are warming up.

Man you ain't kidding! Last night a co-worker and I rode to Wendy's for a Frosty after work. I never even put on a jacket!

I considered riding my bike today, but the rain is supposed to be moving in, so I chose against it. I was hoping tomorrow would be pretty because I wanted to go for a 3 hour ride or so.

Took another short ride today. It won't help me to rack up the miles but it does help me mentally. Today the weather was picture perfect for a ride. Too bad the pollen had to be around. Throat and eyes are killing me but it was well worth it.

I would have LOVED to ride today. Except they were calling for rain at 4pm. So I drove my truck. . .here it is. . .2030...dark as night...nice and warm...and not a drop from the sky yet. . .

I rode yesterday, never got hit by a single drop of rain. If you leave the bike at home every day there's a chance of rain you might as well sell the bike. Get some rain gear and get down the road. Really, this is NC- there's a chance of rain every day until Halloween. If yer gonna ride yer gonna get wet, so get on with it.

I know, I know. But there have been times where they called for rain at 8pm. . so I rode. And at 4pm I was riding home in thunderous downpour. Not my idea of a way to end the day. Besides, with my backpack being full of school books and electronics, I tend to only expose them to wetness as little as possible. Again, excuses, but also personal preference. Today would have been a nice day to ride too. Little chilly out, but not terrible.

Need to put some zip-loc bags in the backpack.

Don't mind getting caught in the rain on the way home, but hate getting caught on the way into work. Being soaked for the day is not fun.


Got my wish, rained on all the way home from work

[Kawasaki Noobie]

We are expecting rain today...didnt even realize until I got to work today. Not that it matters. I ride my bike unless the wind is strong enough to blow it over on the kickstand(or I have to pick up my deviled girlfriend <.< her dad doesnt like my bike...) Wish I ahd rain gear too...but anywhere in town...farthest distance I could possibly drive would be like 10 miles...from one edge of town to my house

Speaking of rain and raingear, has anyone given the Frogg Toggs Hogg Toggs a whirl? It's suppose to breath really well and be fairly good in keeping you dry. I have the Walmart special rainsuit but have been thinking about upgrading. Does anyone have the cats meow of raingear? My Gerbing's heated gear is great for keeping me dry but it is overkill when it comes to riding in the rain during the summer.

i wear TPG gear from First Gear. Works well and its great for cold days too.

I've had Frogg Toggs since they came out. Basically they are Tyvek. Best rain suit I have ever owned! Lightweight, breathable, don't take up much space in the saddlebag...what more could you ask for?

And they do sell them at WalMart.

One month status check:



1,310 miles in the month of April. Not too shabby, for a Wulf that didn't really *go* anyplace.

I was wondering if there would be updates. I'm in FL so I think I have an advantage over you this time of year. I got 1,466 in April.

[Uncle Wulf]

Im not complaining! I got over 4,200 from last Haloween to the first of April. In Vermont!!!

[Kawasaki Noobie]

Hmmmmm 144 miles.... but still thats two weeks ago... 10 miles a day or so...not terrible
