Title: 10% chance of rain Post by springman on 01/10/17 at 09:26:25 There was a 10% chance of rain this morning but the temp is upper 60's lower 70's so I decide to ride to work. Guess who found that 10%! ;D |

Title: Re: 10% chance of rain Post by verslagen1 on 01/10/17 at 09:53:28 I searched 3 weather apps and listened to 2 news channels looking for a glimmer of hope of riding today and didn't. Glad I didn't. |

Title: Re: 10% chance of rain Post by Kenny G on 01/10/17 at 10:32:23 There is no rain near Denton, TX and the temp is almost 70 degrees. I just returned from a rural ride. A return to mental health..... Be careful there is a lot of turtles crossing the road. Kenny G |

Title: Re: 10% chance of rain Post by Joer0952 on 01/10/17 at 11:31:32 OH boo hoo for you, pardon me if I don't sympathize with your struggle, but I am staring at a bunch of snow on my front lawn LOL ;D |

Title: Re: 10% chance of rain Post by springman on 01/10/17 at 11:47:01 I feel for you Joer0952. I know the heat can get deadly here in Houston, but I can handle the heat, but I am really bad with freezing and snowy weather. A little bit of rain when it is warm .... no big deal. It was nice just getting a chance to ride. I feel for you guys that are rained or snowed in. Kenny, glad you got to enjoy a ride today. |

I always forget how much I hate the winter in the summer and how much I hate the summer in the winter. I wish I could find a place that is early spring, late fall all year round. San Francisco would be close but that place is becoming a hell hole LOL |

Title: Re: 10% chance of rain Post by springman on 01/10/17 at 12:02:50 My general rule of thumb is that if rain chances are 20% or less, it is ok to risk it. This is the first time a 10% chance got me. It was really rather interesting as I was heading south on the HOV I had sun on the east and black clouds with some rain on the west. I was intersecting mostly sun but the rain got me in a few spots. When I finally got to an overpass I decided to put my rain gear on. Yep you guessed it, I did not hit any more rain after that. ;D ;D ;D |

Title: Re: 10% chance of rain Post by springman on 01/10/17 at 12:07:33 I figured I'd get your attention. ;D |

Title: Re: 10% chance of rain Post by Rtrnate1283 on 01/10/17 at 14:12:56 That 10,20,and 30% will get you every time. The meteorologist get paid to be right or wrong. I'm always watching the weather for fishing and they sure do get it wrong a lot. :-? |

Title: Re: 10% chance of rain Post by justin_o_guy2 on 01/11/17 at 01:55:21 Good one, Dave.. I rode to the doctor yesterday.. about 45miles there. It was not even uncomfortably cool until the last few minutes.. I did stop and add clothes as the sun went down. I'm HERE right now because I woke up, because I had a I crashed the bike dream.. low speed, dog laying in the road, wouldn't move, dang.. |

Title: Re: 10% chance of rain Post by springman on 01/11/17 at 09:13:30 I rode in to work again today (about 30 miles each way). It is supposed to be upper 70's today. Coming in was a bit cool with just my mesh jacket but I do have rain gear and a windbreaker in a back pack. I can't believe I actually got to ride 2 days in a row. Good luck to you guys in California. Hope things calm down soon. |

Title: Re: 10% chance of rain Post by old_rider on 01/11/17 at 15:26:00 Rain has stopped here, I'll be riding the Ninja 300 tomorrow to work (1.75 hrs to work) and most likely the LS650 Friday. Supposed to be mid sixties at night and mid seventies during the day :) |

Title: Re: 10% chance of rain Post by Kenny G on 01/11/17 at 20:29:02 It was 80 degrees in North Texas today, but the high winds were very dangerous. Kenny G |

Title: Re: 10% chance of rain Post by springman on 01/11/17 at 20:48:51 I do not know if it hit 80 today in Houston but it was definitely in the upper 70's at least. I rode again today and just like yesterday the winds were pretty rough, you had to ride very carefully. |

Title: Re: 10% chance of rain Post by Ruttly on 01/14/17 at 15:19:41 Yeehaw , next 2 days are blue skies and in the sixties and got both days off! I'm gonna tune some Sunday and take the sportster for some back road blasting. It's been almost a month of work and bad weather and rain returns on Wednesday so it time to RIDE.
