Nope, you are not alone. I get maybe one nice day a week to ride and that is usually spent doing yard work here in OH.

Im in Cicero, the mosquito capitol of CNY. My back yard is literally a swamp right now. Theres standing water in 1/2 of my front and back yards. I have another bike in my shed that I need to get out and sell......I cant even retrieve the bike because it will sink in the mud.

It can be a drag for sure. All I can suggest is that you endeavor to persevere.

The actual rain doesn't bother me, it's the idiot drivers who have enough trouble when its bone dry out. Got caught in a tornado warning/thunderstorm in Colorado springs, we were like an hour from my in-laws. We pulled over to wait out the lightning. Was quite the experience but my ultra classic did just fine w Avon Storms.

Been raining every day with maybe a one day break in between, but with overcast and chilly weather here. Today, hit 73 and blue skies. Took an afternoon/evening ride and enjoyed the hell out of it.

Funny, I almost took a half day today myself, weather was great, sunny and mid/upper 70*'s here. I rode in to work this morning, I'm kicking myself for not leaving and enjoying it this afternoon.

More rain headed in tomorrow evening/night...

We had exactly 8 hours of sunshine yesterday, and today we are back to a steady rain. Its going to take WEEKS for my yard to dry out. I cant even walk on it right now, as its like trying to walk on wet sponges. Theres talk that flooding will be an issue soon up near Lake Ontario.
