From: upstate NY (eastern side)

Bikes: giant ATX 760, Falcon Road Bike (ss) custom marinoni tourismo (full dresser) ,

How about the weather SUCKS.

Forecasters have had a track record for being not accurate for years,

I don't mind fun rides in bad weather Cuz I can head home if it gets too nasty But for my commute I like nicer more predictable conditions , I always carry rain gear.

here in upstate NY winter conditions went well into April, low 30s every morning frost and some snow ,ice/black ice still on many roads,

early May Morning temps were still in the mid 30s + wind and drizzle.

Mid may it rained almost every day temps in the high 30s in the early morning (commute take off time) plus lots of wind

Late may (now) Lots of wind grey skies cool morning temps and possible rain all week again though I haven't seen any yet

needless to say I haven't been riding much I'm usually commuting a few days a week (34 mile round trip) starting in Early April, and even a day or two in the winter during thaws, Not this year .

I'm only riding after work on the Fixie just to keep things working .

weather gods are angry!!
