Quite right. It was very dreary today, not the mid 70's that I saw reported on the TV. It has been the same for the last week and a half as well. Tomorrow the forecast is for more rain continuing to November when it will change to rain with scattered showers. You should definitely settle in the Bay Area and tell all your friends to do the same!

Seriously, I've always said that when it's nice in Seattle there is no place nicer. The summers are nearly perfect and winter gives you the opportunity to take in several area ski mountains. Or, if you wish you can head up to Whistler. Road cycling in Seattle is very well established with extensive trail networks and motorists that are accustomed to cyclists. Mountain biking on Pacific NW singletrack is some of the best you'll ever find as well. I ride road and mountain year round because even when it's raining in the winter it's is generally light enough that you can cope with very light rain gear or none at all. Besides, a little water helps the mountain bike stay muddy!
