Default wether

I think of the Sept days past when the bushes and trees along the road are turning brown or white with dust stirred up from no rain in weeks or even months. Low lake levels.

I think of the guys up north that were under snow for months while we got the occasional spring ride

so the question is wether or not to complain... 2 weeks of rain. So itching for a long ride. Have plans for an overnighter later this week or next if....

wether or not depends on the weather

Whether it's the weather or not, I have found people bitch no matter what. I'll take the rain, we need it.

I like the nice fresh air when riding in the rain. Get a good rain suit and you'll stay completely dry.

After the winter we've just had, I swear I'll slap the first person that complains about the heat!

If you live in that type climate, it's your choice, why complain.

Get on your bike and ride. The rain will not bother you. And trust me. You will not melt or shrink
