Sucks to wait

dan523 · 05-12-2006

I live in Ohio and it's been raining almost non-stop here with thunderstorms often enough to bug me. Haven't been able to ride since Tuesday and the forecast doesn't look good until next Saturday (5/21). So I'm just waiting and getting frustrated and itching to just take a quick ride between storms. How do bikers in Seattle deal with that?

It's rained almost everyday since I have gotten and been able to ride my new bike, still got over 600 miles on it.

My rear tire has a hole in it so its basically the same thing, I havent been able to ride since Sunday lol.

It's been raining all week here - and it's supposed to rain all next week. The geese were waddling around near the pond at work today.

Wow, I guess it is raining everywhere. Not a good week to be a biker. A buddy of mine rides rain or shine.

Yep. Loving on the sun now that it is back...I took a nice long canyon/ scenic route today. There were bikes all over...Mostly HD...And yes, I did wave when they did. Funny at a stop today my friend and I were surrounded by a pack of HD riders...Funny how my tomato clashed with their rides. Also had some knucklehead tailgate me through parts of the canyon...Got into a straightaway and just dragged away and then a turn came and there he went...I distanced myself once we got to the turns. He was driving some huge lifted truck even...I swear if something happend I would have ruined that guy.
