Rain, Rain, Rain
I am starting to feel like you folks in the East and North do, We've had a couple of days for rain here in the desert of Sunny Ca. Can't ride.

I know, It sucks to have 2 days straight without riding!
Actually, I rode a little yesterday, rain was not that bad, but this cold weather (mid 40's) just has to stop!

I really feel for you... not! We had 3" of the white stuff on the ground this morning with the promise of more tomorrow. Let's trade!

If we had all that rain here it would wash the salt and chemicals off the roads

I live in San Diego and have been riding in the rain every day since last Thursday. Get yourself a good rain suit and a full face helmet and you wont be bothered by it.

+1 for that. We had just a little rain this morning but nothing big.

This has been a freaky winter here in S. LA. It's been almost like no winter at all, and lately highs have been in the 70's, almost 80° yesterday. OTOH we had a freak blizzard (3" of snow) last December, the fourth heaviest snowfall in recorded history for this area. Great riding now, but it means lots of love bugs, fire ants, and mosquitoes this spring.

Try living in Seattle area, if you don't ride in the rain you won't ride much. Moved to Az now ride every day.
