Is it summer yet?
Calendar says June, weather says January. My cat is just looking at me. I think he is contemplating on doing me in.

Went to the LBS to buy a water bottle cage yesterday. When I made a comment about the prolonged winter weather, the cashier called it "June-uary".

Sequoia century tomorrow - after WCC 2009 and Primavera 2010 I figured I'd avoid a soaking organized ride this year. Apparently not.

I'm going out for a short spin in the rain. I hate riding in the rain, but I hate weekend trainer rides even more!

I wonder how that Auburn Century is working out for the riders today. Toughness...pure toughness.
See anyone at Sequoia tomorrow?

Swapped my wheels and crank to my rain bike yesterday. I didn't think I would be riding it for a few months.

+1 on the depression. It really needs to stop before Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) sets in. BTW, I heard that the suicide rate in Seattle is higher because of their constant miserable weather.

Yup ... I'll be out there. After two doubles in the rain, why not another?

Just finished 40 miles in the rain. I like it. Kind of serene out there
