Default I hae Iowa weather..... with a passion

Well, we finally got some good weather thursday and friday here in Iowa. About 55 degrees on thursday and 60 degrees on friday. So i take the bike out both days. Get out of school early and put 100+miles on the bike each day. Great days. What do i find this morning when i wake up and look out the window? snow. huge snowflakes coming down. covers the ground in like 20 minutes flat. I couldnt believe it. I was so excited to ride the bike all weekend, maybe do some camping, and it snows. I hate iowa weather. The upside is next week will be pretty warm, or so the weather man says. I have a feeling its gonna be a long spring.

It don't matter where you live, if you don't like the weather, wait five minutes. I feel your pain.

For once we have it a little better weather wise up here. It was cold today but it should be nice again on Sunday. Most years you guys are riding a week or two ahead of us.
