Default more rain

Don't like to complain but this rain we have had this Spring is ridiculous. It seems to never end. When we do get a nice day , have to do yardwork and cut the grass. SE Mi. is not a good place to ride this Spring. Having said that....Have a great day

I guess it all depends. We had our first taste of it in 5 weeks. We were starting to dry out and burn up - ****, the swamp even had a muck fire (underground fire) I was glad to get some of the wet stuff.

We have had lots of rain in northern Indiana. Ark is almost complete, wife gathering animals by twos.

I wonder how bad things are going to get for those small towns LA? It's one thing for rain to ruin our riding,but taking your house is another thing.

If it makes you feel better I went swimming yesterday while riding.

I wasn't able to get away for the "Spring Fling" in Wildwood NJ this weekend and was perfectly content to not have to battle the rains this weekend on the way back - BUT - now that Sunday is here I wish I had been able to go. Even though the ride back would have been a wet one, I would have enjoyed being there anyhow. Riding in rain - just part of the big picture.

Well it did not rain here yesterday, but this morning it was in the 20's here. We are still waiting to get rid of winter.
