Fifty Plus (50+) - How is your bicycling weather?

How is your bicycling weather?

Parker, CO 10/29/2009

19" so far, officially. More on the way. Got stuck in the car this morning - could not see the curb in a big parking lot, so, drove right over the cement curb with my Neon. Glad I had my snow shovel and kitty litter. Rocked the car out with a push from another guy. Side streets so slick one could ice skate.

The city is pretty much closed down.

Hey snow God, it is only October.

So, how is YOUR bicycling weather?

cloudy today,..... high today is expected to reach 79 or 80 with rain forecast for the next two days..:thumb

plus 6 celcius and a half inch of rain predicted,forecasted to warm to ten.no shovels needed here!

Sunny and warm every Monday thru Friday between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM, every other day and time it sucks.

Most of the fall has been the same. Wet, wet, wet.
I'll do cold but not wet.

A little brisk this morning -- note the current temperature of 48 degrees. Other than that, another hoe-hum day in paradise!

EDIT: Found out you can't say "hoe" with just the first two letters. Came up with astericks!

No rain in the ten day forecast. Highs around 80 through Saturday then just under 70 for several days. Of course, there will be a completely different forecast by Saturday.

Weather is relative. I commute to work on a bicycle and recently moved to California from Maine. In Maine I would use the bike with temps over 0F and as long as the ice/snow on the road was not too deep. This morning in San Jose, the temp was 45, and there was a light breeze, many people at work were surprised that I was still riding my bike in the 'winter'.

Windstorms the last couple of days in Los Angeles!

It was cool yesterday, 50s and 60s, but cool to me is not all that cool to my son in Colorado Springs. The last three club rides were rather nice. :lol:

Lucky dog - I'd be head'n up to Loveland, heard they are expecting 4'

We've actually had a very dry autumn. Warmer than average this week.
We only get snow about once a year. A few inches at most.

As if a giant cow had serious diarrhea except the cow's contribution would at least be warm.

Perfect riding conditions here as long as you don't mind riding in the rain. Seriously, the temps are perfect, but the rain just keeps coming.

It was 39 F when I went for my ride at 4:30 this morning.:eek: Only supposed to get to 65 or so today. Cold for Phoenix in October. Supposed to be close to 80 by Saturday, though.:)

Pretty cool, wet, and depressing around here. I kinda wish it would either get a few degrees colder as I like dealing with snow better than rain, or maybe just dry up a bit. Sigh.

32F here.Dull and dreary looking and windy.Supposed to warm up Fri,Sat.but they lie.:rolleyes:

Very Nice winds Today 16 to 34 mph
83* Temps

All roads closed going east and north of Denver

Windy, cloudy and cool. Pretty much par for this time of the year on the Outer Banks!

plus 6 celcius and a half inch of rain predicted,forecasted to warm to ten.no shovels needed here!

Half inch? I heard there was a foot on the beach again? Poor taste, I know.

Well DnvrFox ///no snow here but raw cold and windy.Thay say tomorrow its to warm to 50sF ./Kenneth

11 degrees C here. Overcast but no rain although the "Colorado Low" is supposed to drop some rain over the next few days.

Cool here, in the high 60's to low 70's. Lots of sunshine and a cool breeze off the ocean. Practically perfect in every way . . .

Rick / OCRR

Cool and about 8" of snow. Got the studded tires (Nokia 294) on yesterday and gave them a short workout. The icy bumps are the biggest pain in the ride, but the studs grip the ice well and the tires work well in snow.

34 degrees C (what's that, mid 80s F?), low humidity and calm winds

Thanks for asking

Big BR = 86 and SUNSHINE!

wow, that's a lot of snow! wish I wasn't working every weekend in the fall ... ugh Almost done and I might ride again beginning Nov 15th

How is your bicycling weather?

19" so far, officially. More on the way.

I'm up the hill from you, at a little under 9,000 feet, in Bailey. Because of this weird 'banana belt' effect, (apparently we're sheltered by Mt. Evans) we only have about 6 inches on the ground although the roads are a mess. My wife slid our Pathfinder off the road and through a signpost this morning. She's fine, but the car...not so much.

It's coming down thick and fast as I write this though, so who knows where we'll be by tomorrow.

Had some good weather for a week or so but working saturday and guess what is happening Sunday

So my cycling weather is not good- I am working through the good stuff

Central Florida checking in.

GEES You folks are killing me but It not as bad in Maine as Colorado!/Kenneth

Umm, I'm thinking about staying on the trainer today.

The weather is perfect here, as always.

Is it perfect for skiing, cross-country, snow shoeing, ice skating.

I think not!!

:notamused::mad::cry::(

Near record heat in West Central FL. Rode 30 miles tonight starting at 5:00 and the heat index was in the low 90's. Too bad daylight savings is going away, the nice after work rides are about over. Some cooler weather would be nice, but not Colorado 'cool'. :) That white stuff is not good for riding.

This October: More than 20 days with rain. One of the coldest on record. 10-20 mph winds most days.

Oh well; 239 miles in the last 5 days anyway.

Abnormally hot! 80F during our ride early this morning, rising to 91 by afternoon when I stayed indoors under a/c. Overnight low, 73F. I suppose it will eventually cool off.

Terrible, blanketed in VOG.

I am also up the hill from DnvrFox at 9000ft in Silverthorne The snow stayed east of the divide for the most part for this area.
We had light snow going sideways in the wind today.
Enjoyed? my first day on the trainer in the garage.

Snow dumped about 9" in a couple days. This one should stick till spring. Lots of fender benders with people driving too fast for that snow over an ice base. But, it is forecast to go below 0F in a couple days so the ice will start to get worn down and sublimated.

No one riding outside except for a very, very few who have wide, studded tires and prepared bikes. For the rest of us it is trainers and spin classes.

Sunny and 75º today. I got out for a ride with my wife during our daughter's gymnastics practice. Summer kit baby!

That could be any day of the year in Silverthorne! I took off the Blue River after paddling in a snowstorm on July 4th one year. Put on the river outside town in the upper 60s, took off just above Green Mountain Res. in a driving snow.

I think not!!

The only frozen water I believe in is in drinks...

We need a boat here way to much rain here. :(
And I want to ride my bicycle but its to wet for me water is moving to fast over the road here too.:(

Rain, wind - a lot of each with temps reaching 60 maybe. Got out yesterday for a quick 18 mile ride but I'm still suffering from Parked Bicycle Syndrome.

How is your bicycling weather?



I'm heading out for a ride with friends this morning. It's 63F with 20-25 mph winds. I'm not real fond of the wind but I can't waste the nice temps this time of the year.
