Been more than 48 hours - still wet and cold. Already sold a few and an old helmet.

Went skiing yesterday, had a blast. Now it's snowing in town and I'm working from home.

I had two days of -30F polar vortex in WI, somehow I survived... Zwift?

I went out in the wind on Saturday, and did hill repeats into the wind in the uphill direction.(that sucked). it was like i doubled the grade. but it was a good workout. on sunday i did some intervals on the (dumb) trainer. was still worn out from Saturday!

How do you guys deal with outrageous home prices, sky high cost of living, immense droughts, wild fires that destroy so much, earth quakes that foretell of the impending apocalypse, mud slides, overpopulation and pollution?

Here we just put a jacket on or ride a trainer indoors.

They move to AZ, and complain about the heat.

I think you should be banned for this post.

Wow this is awful. I might have to get one of those stationary rear wheel spinning things

we obviously don't.

things would be just fine w/o four of the items you mentioned if so many people from...well...elsewhere hadn't visited and fancied their chances at a go.
most of the locals (altho there are a holdout few that invariably bellyache) are down with the annual biblical (and other comparable texts) irwin allen disaster escapades.

I can't wait until our weather gets that nice.

Sunday is my ride day and I have not missed many at all. This last Sunday was a real bummer! It was pouring in Ventura ,California with no sign of letting up. I will ride if it is just a light passing rain cloud , with a baggie over the saddle, but I'm not into getting soaked. I am looking at the forecast (Thank you Elvo!) and it may break for Sunday...fingers crossed. I don't have fenders on any of my bikes. Joe

I finally rode today! It was a chilly 45 degrees in the morning, so I bundled up in my cold weather gear (knee warmers, base layer, heavy jersey, long fingered gloves, toe covers and ear wrap). It did stop raining for a bit on Sunday, but not enough time to do a long ride, so I made a brunch date with a hot blonde instead.

We will endure.

Salaries out here make up for the prices. The fires are awful though. A lot of the world is significantly less polluted just because it's so big and mostly empty.

i think that's a different forum...

Rephrased it! Hope you had better weather out east.

Lol you can put that on Strava too.

I remember talking to my friends at White Industries that year the area near Petaluma got leveled. As I was finishing up she said, "hey just so you know we may not get that shipped out today. A lot of our guys in the plant aren't here because their houses were destroyed in the fire. We're working with what we can." Was so sad to hear and makes bike stuff immediately so un-important. Our only impact around here is some hazy days and the "campfire" smell that is everywhere. Always turns my stomach because of what it means.

Sitting at my desk now in the shop and can't feel my toes as they've frozen. Dropping from 40 degree high to 3 as the trainer class is going on.

You deserve to be eaten by zombies.

In northern Minnesota, we call that spring.
I was in Fargo, ND, on Wednesday. -20F and a winter storm warning but there were still people commuting by bicycle.
Long sleeve jersey, warm socks, give it hell. You might shiver for the first few minutes until you get warmed up.

Insanity. I would be dead by positive 20.

I've ridden 20 miles at -15F on a sunny calm day and it wasn't that bad. All you need is the right gear.
