View Full Version : Foul Spring Weather - All My Fault

I feel the need to offer a confession. I just know that the cold crappy spring weather (that I hate) is going to hang on for a while to come. I say this because for two reasons:

This year more than ever, I have the bicycle fleet all tuned up and ready to go. I even cleaned and organized the home shop. The nice bikes are all clean, ready to ride. I even cleaned up my Winter bike!:crazy2: Well, not really "cleaned" more like I took a rag to the chain instead of just adding more Tri-Flow. The rest of the bike is still covered in dirt/sand/salt.
I picked up a new car that has "summer only" tires a month ago, figuring that I could make it through until fall before buying another set of wheels with snow tires.
I personally hate this time of year when we get teased with days like we had last week where it touches 45 degrees (washed the car), followed by rain/snow/sleet the next followed by a frigid 6 degrees two days later. Friday was nice, washed the new ride again, rained on Saturday. So, I just wanted to extend my apologies to everyone... you can blame it on me.

Ken,

I just want to thank you...please keep the weather crappy here for alittle while longer....you see I've started my travel season and won't be able to ride for a few weeks now and I'd feel really bad if the weather was great and I wasn't able to ride...but I have been known to put the bike in the back of the SUV and stop by Leb Hills on my home from the airport :D

I bought a Road Bike so I could start training early this year.....so you might want to put some of that blame on me also.....:crazy:.

The weather this morning showed highs in the upper 40's for next weekend so we are almost guaranteed to have a miserable one!
