Well it took a lot of effort but i tore myself out of bed this morning at 5:45 and went for a ride till about 7:30. It sure does feel good once you wake up and are moving, but it sure does suck to get up and go out and pump up the tires.

I am making a goal now to ride at least 3 mornings a week. Hopefully I can tear myself out of bed on a regular basis now.

NICE! Mornings are better anyway since it rains every damn afternoon there. :mumble:

I rode a 100 miles last Saturday and was on the road by 5:30AM, the afternoon heat is too much for me and we were expecting 90 to 95. Its cool because there is little to no wind and only truckers and fishermen are on the road. It's a nice feeling but I still prefer to do my hammer rides at night, something about battleing the wind makes me feel core.

When I lived in Colorado (there were a lot LESS people) we would meet in Boulder at 7AM and head for the foothills - it felt sooooo cold that early.

Thunder storms in Bend? We have had a remarkably good summer here on the harbor - screw pollution control, global warming rocks.

DOH! I am not very bright. Gully washers every afternoon but they don't last long. I grew up in Douglas county so we could see the storms gather on hot afternoons - they seldom made to our area though.

It is pretty brisk in the AM, Though it was pretty nice, I didn't really have to deal with traffic till about 7 or so. I have been trying to ride every afternoon but like heidi said that damn rain keeps coming through.

How come no one can read my post correctly? I AM NOT SAYING IT RAINS EVERYDAY HERE.

Isn't it supposed to rain in the PacNW rather than in CO everyday? I don't get it

I get about 70 to 80" of rain a year - slow and steady all winter long but the summers really are quite nice. Hell the winters are not bad either - very temperate and doesn't get in the way of bike riding at all. As long as you don't mind being wet...

Because of my life situation, I found that the only time I could ride is in the mornings, before work, luckily there is a shower at my office. The first few times it does suck, but you get into a sort of rhythm I guess. Been doing this since April in New England, and it is frikin' cold lotsa mornings. I had to wear a long sleeve this morning! Now it is just part of my daily routine.

Wife did get mad, waking up early, means going to bed earlier.
She calls my bikes, my girlfriends, best quote out of her mouth:
"I don't see you waking up at 4:30 to ride me!"

Ouch that hurt! Couldn't help but laugh, only made the situation worse.

Ha!

Look on the bright side, at least you didn't tell her that the bike never turns you down
