Default Rain!!

This is insane🤪 Got to be the wettest spring here (central Ontario) that I can remember. If it’s not raining, I’m stuck mowing wet grass leaving no time for riding. 1,100 kms this year, maybe half of what I normally ride. What’s it like in your area of the planet?

Just spent 14 days in Florida. When I was on the bike it wasn't raining. When I had to work, inside, it was raining. So it worked out for me on that trip! Rode the 450 miles down and back dry. The nighttime ride down was nice. But it wasn't too hot in the daytime returning.

So far this year I only have about 5000 miles. But hitting peak season so the miles will roll up quickly now.

Manitoba not much better..

It been raining two days out of three for most of May. Not only that, but it's been cold and windy. Winds gusting up to 50 KM/H - 30 MPH day after day. Forecast for this Wednesday is rain and a high of 17C - 60F degrees.

It's really dampened a lot of weekend bike ride events.

It's been brutal even in the BC Okanagan. We're still getting single digit temperatures in the morning and rain at some point every day.

Not been the beast in South West Manitoba either. It's been really cool and windy with rain days 2 or 3 days a week it seems. I still farm so any nice days we've been busy trying to get the crop in the ground. So only have about 950 km on so far this year.

Here in the this area of the US (OH, IN, KY and PA) we've had a series of storms roll through about twice a week. Very wet. I've got weird algae on the sidewalks out back. I think I've about had it with the weather picking on us, too.

lol. You need to retire. Almost 5,000Kms this year and I ride between the rain drops.

You’ll get your seat time this summer. Supposedly hot and dry for Ontario

Working tomorrow and then off for the next 6 days. Road trip.
Rain everywhere for the next week.
I don’t mind a couple days of rain but I don’t want to ride in it every damn day.

Crappy weather here in Alberta too. Combined with the two-week plant shutdown I had to work has meant too few kms for me so far this season.
