What's happening to the weather?
I never seen such a rainy, windy spring, and that's coming on the tailend of a really wet winter. In the last couple of weeks I've spent more time on BF than riding (and there hasn't even been any thing interesting happening on BF). I expect all of the NW USA and BC are having the same weather. I'm determined to get out today, even if it is windy with rain on the way. I just can't face another week of work without some riding on the weekend.
How are you coping?

Global Warming at its finest. If everybody rode their bike instead of drove their car, the weather would get nicer.

See Al Gore's new movie or read his book, "An Inconvenient Truth". BTW it's been raining and windy here all day also. But I did get to climb Mt Ventoux this morning!

Well, here in the mid-Atlantic coast we are experiencing an extremely dry spring... Only about 50% of our normal rainfall total, and fairly cool weather as well...

It's George Bush's fault. He is letting the big corporations control the weather. Blockbuster, NetFlix and yes BikeForums have huge weather controlling stations in Alaska.

Hmmm. No rain here either. A matter of fact no rain for the last 40 days. Plenty of wind.
