Default Spring is Here

Anyone else enjoying the SNOW on the first day of spring. I know I am. Had the bike out all last week and this week until today. Not crazy enough to ride in the snow....again.

I wish we had some. It's been dry and the grass is turning brown already. Mid 80s on my ride yesterday

We have a drought out west, again. I'm still waiting for winter to happen. It'll be a long wait.

I guess it all depends on your perspective. The northeast has been pounded with snow and rain, which makes riding sporadic for some. It appears on the west coast, you guys could use a fair amount of snow/rain. Grass is always greener someplace else.

I can tolerate the rain, but the snow makes it difficult for some of these cagers to control their vehicles. It is already difficult for them when it is dry and sunny, they still manage to hit something.

No warm weather for riding coming my way anytime soon. Probably 3-4 weeks yet before I can get out for a ride.

It may be today but our Spring has been here for 3 weeks, raining and fouling up riding. Still, we need the rain and 100x that.

I'm doing rain dances here in central Texas. It's working, too. We are forecast to receive 1-2 inches of rain over the next 48 hours. I'll take rain over riding right now.

The rain we get now through summer will determine the hay crop for this year. Bring on the rain!
