Default Damn rain!!!

This whole week the weather here has been in the high 50's low 60's. Bad thing is it hasn't quit raining long enough to get a ride in! Anyone else having this problem? It's starting to **** me off! I just had to rant a little bit.

Well it has been raining since Sunday night here. It is supposed to be sunny tomorrow. You know what that means. I guess this is our winter punishment weather.

I just got done checking the weather, suppose to be mid 50's today with a small chance of rain. Hopefully I'll be able to get out for a while without getting soaked.

Sorry no pity party for you, buy rain gear. I can't ride with 5 feet of snow and they don't make a suit for that.
