Default WTF Eh?

So I've been watching the weather for dry days for weeks and weeks... The weather's been not so nice here lately. It could be worse I know, but yesterday and today I just said WTF and put on the splash pants and rode my bike to work... and I liked it

When you have to get out , you have to get out lol

Been raining since the Start of April here near Ottawa, weather just sucks.

This time last year we had about 3000km on are bikes. We have maybe 500km on them this year. Rain or shine we will be on a 2 week vacation come July.

yesterday turned out nice and today is even better... just goes to show that meteorology isn't an exact science... took a ride at lunch yesterday and it smelled like spring... I'm finding life is better on a bike

I'm not sure how accurate this is but, allegedly there's a hurricane watch for the East coast, let's hope such is not the case.

They were calling for rain today but we went out anyway.
Beautiful day it turned out to be no rain in site.

Here in London it was 31c with humidity. Nice for riding but there was no transition. It went from chilly to very warm. typical for SW Ontario. Made fro a nice ride to Grand Bend.

I managed to get in a little over 300 kms yesterday, but they were cold ones. It was sunny and dry though. We went south from New Glasgow to Sheet Harbour, then east to Sherbrooke, and then north to New Glasgow through Blue Mountain.

That probably doesn't mean squat to most of you, but if you're ever in NS and looking to spend ~4 hours on a nice day, that is a nice route. Just remember to top up in the towns.

Great Drive Bluenose Playa. We did an "Awareness Ride" organized by the Cape Breton FreeWheelin’ Motorcycle Association (CBFW) Cape Breton Free-Wheelin' Motorcycle Association. Windy, warm weather accompanied us for the ride. Over 200 bikes (my estimate) attended. We were all well behaved!
