Bummer - looks like bad weather this weekend
Thunderclaps are, at this moment, announcing that this weekend may be no good for riding. Bummer. I don't mind riding in the rain, but I will not go out in a thunderstorm, although I've been caught out in a few.
I really cannot complain. The weekends this summer have been beautiful.

Still, what am I bothering about. The hills are beckoning and whats 5 miles of slippery chalk followed by 3" puddles interspaced with mud and Gunge. then a few miles through the woods followed by a breakfast........Then the long trackout of the forest and a cut across the top of the hills before I have to do the wooded path back home at the bottom of the Hills.
Things I go through to get out of washing the Car on a sunday.

If I didn't ride in the rain, I'd NEVER ride here in Louisiana! Embrace the hydrologic cycle!

I agree about the thunderstorms. Don't need to temp fate that much. It's been damp and misty all day near Philadelphia, but I was able to get in about 25 miles early this morning. Hoping I can do the same tomorrow, before I leave for a three day business trip.

Well, although misty here in Bucks County (north of Philly), I left early and was fortunate to get in 65 miles. Came back and crashed on the couch - awakened to news reports about violent wind storms, fallen trees, roofs blown off houses, etc. I'm not certain what planet I was on, but I missed it all - better, still, it missed me!

Heavy overcast and high humidity on Saturday in Berks County, PA (50m west of PHL). I did get in 20 miles. Sunday I awake late to light rain. Not actually planning to ride today or Monday. Rain in forcast for Monday/Tuesday. I expect the storm Ernesto will wash out next weekend. Been caught in rain a couple times, not actually that bad being rained on, I have more fear of losing grip with the 23m, no tread tyres. The good news is the cooler temps.
