No riding this week-end

cyclecat · 05-29-2010, 09:06 AM

We can't believe this anymore. We've rode a total of 19 hours in the last month because of the weather. Had snow 4 weeks ago, 2 weeks ago, and again this morning. It's been raining for the last week and turned to snow some time in the night.

Environment Canada is saying Southern Alberta is in for the hottest dryest summer we've had in years. 2 days ago they said the hot weather was supposed to start June 1, well now that forecast has been pushed back to June 3 and by the third I'm sure it will be another week before we see the sun.

Sorry to hear about your weather situation. It is hot here in Alabama but rain expected through the weekend.

berg546 · 05-29-2010, 09:31 AM

No riding here in Saskatchewan either. I feel your pain! Looks like the weather might smarten up by the middle of next week, just in time to go back to work:( Bill.

Could it be global warming??? Either way, it bites not being able to saddle up... this too will pass. ;)

The Nor' East is great weather, which it sure wasn't this time last year. Last year 27 days of June we have 2+ inches of rain. Then 18 more at better than 1 inch for 18 days in July. I still rode anyway, ya gotta get the dead bugs off somehow.

Yeah snow always means man made gorebal warming....

It's that damn Idao Low :-[

Very warm here this week in Southern Ontario. About 2,000 kms on the bike so far this season.

cyclecat · 05-29-2010, 07:54 PM

We've seen the weather reports on the weather in southern Ontario; that's what we're supposed to have coming in the next few days. Not soon enough for me since it is snowing tonight again.

skeeter · 05-29-2010, 09:55 PM

I'll trade you some heat for some cool next month. Hope you get out soon or you'll need a plane ticket.....

nomad561 · 05-30-2010, 07:35 AM

Weatherman said rain and thunderstorms all day yesterday. We went riding anyway and it was 85 degrees and mostly sunny all day long. Rolled in around 6 last night and it started storming around 6:30. Managed to get in around 160 miles though.
Sorry about the bad weather you guys are getting. Hope it clears up soon.

**ringadingh** · 05-30-2010, 02:21 PM

I havn't had a chance to ride the bike this weekend at all, just too much going on around here this weekend. Plus its been around 90 the last few days which doesn't give me a lot of ambition to do much. We could use a good rain here, the lawn is dying and im going through too much beer.

hammer · 05-30-2010, 03:33 PM

Just got off after 4 hours good ride. NO RAIN, I can't believe it. It has been so bad here, as soon as the rain stops and the sun shines bikes come out like cockaroaches in a cheap hotel when the bed lamp comes on. That was in Hawaii though.

wheelie · 05-31-2010, 07:48 PM

Sorry to here the weather man is keeping y'all off the bikes. One thing for sure when it the sun comes out you sure have some pretty country to ride through. Ring, please explain. How much is too much beer? That statement does not compute!

ebulhoes · 05-31-2010, 09:13 PM

Woo who, the sun is shining again, might be able to go for a short ride tomorrow
