everyone's got something to gripe about.... my heart goes out to those being flooded by the Mississippi and to those effected by all the tornadoes.

here in South Texas, we've had less than 2" of rain in the past 135 days..... man, we're about to just burn up and blow away.

Just had to rub it in a little. Give it two to three weeks and we will be into our afternoon thunder storm cycle and for the next 5 to 6 months it will be 20 to 30 percent chance everyday and 98 to 102 everyday.

I don't mind riding in the rain, I just hate cleaning it after riding in the rain!!!!

It was raining when I was getting ready for work today...so I put on my rainsuit and rode to work. Hey, it's just water. You will dry out. Don't let rain ruin your chances to ride.

Well said Dave, We were without power for 7 days but I never complained the first time. Some People 1 mile from us had their house blown down on them and were killed. Count your Blessings!!

I gave up and busted out the rain gear. I'm not losing the entire season because of rain. I already lost the entire month of April. May? I'm getting wet.

It became offical this week....wettest spring on record for the state of VT. 15.75 inches of rain since March 1st...and we've got over a week to go before the end of spring offically. I don't mind riding in the rain if I have to or touring....but this is a bit different. I do feel lucky that we haven't had the kind of spring some other parts of the country have had...so in a way we are blessed. Ride safe!

I went to boot camp in San Diego and spent 18 months at Camp Pendleton. You can have the brown skies. There are a lot of places outside of the metropolis that`s cool there but near the coast sucks with your traffic jams and such.
