Will it ever stop raining?!

Will it ever stop raining?!

June 7th, 2005. 10 days, 9 nights of continous rain. And the weather network is calling for another 5 days of rain.

Weather flood warnings were issued Monday and Tuesday with rivers already overflowing.

:(

Riding in the rain is fun, but in a downpour? No thanks! Where is the sun, I want the sun! 8)

Mike.

The rain is getting on my nerves also. I just had a week of holidays last week and didn't get to ride my seca once.
It looks pretty bad down by High River. For now it looks good for the farmers and bad for the bikers.

Which reminds me, I need to call them and cancel my reservation on the Monster 620. I will be 'otherwise engaged' on that weekend, riding the snot out of my own bike.
