It's supposed to be near 80°F here on Monday, but rain, so Monday and Tuesday might have been the last nice riding days here until next year. The extended for forecast is for lower 60°Fs and below. I can still pick my spots for riding, but the general trend is downward. On Monday I did make it to Duluth and take this picture:

Lovely.

So much rain here the last ride might have already gone

Enjoy it while you can.

So what is the problem with rain. I have thousands of km in the rain. The Forza handles nicely in the rain.

The problem is that I don’t find it fun. You might.

Watch the world cycling championship for a glimpse of the conditions.

I definitely do not find it fun in the rain.

We get a lot of rain. I go anyway because it might not be raining 5 minutes away.

The mountains make a lot of micro-climates.

I sometimes go into one of the Fraser Canyon tunnels in the rain and come out into dry conditions.

The rain keeps our roads free from oil.

The danger is mostly from car drivers not seeing you.

I live a couple of hours west of dave.

If we didn't ride in the rain, we'd only ride 100 days/yr. (only partly kidding)
