Dear Rain,

I miss George Carlin so much.

P.S. If you must continue to rain, please rain beer......good beer. Thank you.

I'll sign that. This sucks.

Amen!

ahhhh hogwash!

the downhill runs are in good shape around here (for the most part)

I was begging for rain the past few springs/summers. GLAD we are getting it.

Glad the rivers and lakes are full - but its good to see the sun again!

Yeah, I don't think the last week of rain has helped anything, the ground has been saturated for a while. I imagine the kayakers are lovin' it.

Someone just make it stop.

Yes we are. Sort of. My other bike is a kayak. Been on more kayak rides than bike rides this year. Got to do something with what Mother Nature throws at you. Ready to MTB more though. Starting to get grown over in moss and mold, not to mention having to cut grass every other sunny day.

Seriously! I havent ridden my mtn bike in a month. Are there any dry places in the area? Im willing to drive up to an hour and a half tomorrow from DC.

Actually, a most of the places I ride are not too bad if you are riding up or down the mountains, it is the low-lying areas that are a mess. The problem I have is that I don't always feel like packing everything up and driving to the trailhead with a 50% chance of thunderstorms. Well, I've started sucking it up and doing it anyway, but it definitely kills some of the motivation for me.

Hopefully I will finish up what I am doing and get out in the next few days. "25% chance of showers" is the new "mostly cloudy".

I recently planned to build an ark and put the mtb away for awhile.....

Damn, that's a good idea and we can use our bikes to power them.

Im thinking of packing up the bike and heading to the seashore this weekend. The poor thing has been sitting in the closet for 3 weeks now.

I've been on more road rides than mt. bike rides this year. :yikes:

No really though, it's been great for the crab grass growing in my garden. Gonna have a real good crop of that stuff this year.

Okay, whining done. We'll probably be begging for rain by mid-September.

Maybe if we did the "no rain" chant like they did at Woodstock...

And, just like that, its all sun forcasted for a week and a half.

You're welcome

Taking a vacation

I'll be taking off the next week for some personal time in the tropics.
After the last few weeks I'm all wrung out.
You know what they say, "All Rain and no play...".
