I live in Oregon and if you avoid the days it sprinkles a bit you don't get to ride much. Though I admit that I didn't ride many days in January.

Will it post this time?&nbsp\\; Its been so hot here, I welcome the rain.&nbsp\\; I not only get my bike washed but it cools off these dreaded hot 2007 ultras. Right.

My bike is about the only bigger luxury item I've afforded myself. I ride when I want and leave the bike in the garage when I want and have never felt the need to justify how much or how little i ride. I've ridden as much 15,000 miles in our short summer season and as little as 3,000 all depending on work, health and home related projects. I don't push myself to ride more just because other do. Maybe this makes me a poser, but honestly I don't give a rats a$$ what anyone else thinks of me or my riding habbits.

I'll wait for nice weather. I want to enjoy my ride, not get sweaty, cold or wet.
