Midicat Posted October 20, 2012 Share #1 Posted October 20, 2012 This time of year I watch the weather looking for a nice day to plan a trip on the 1st Gen. And week after week I am consistently disappointed with the weather but more importantly, the timing of the weather. I am noticing (and I'm sure many of you have as well) that the weather during the week will have one or two days of sunshine while the weekend is always wet and miserable. I propose we reset the week. We need to pause the week so that the weather comes into alignment with the days of the week and that will give us sunny weekends. So here's what we do. Wednesday October 31 will be the start of the reset. The next day will be Wednesday November 01, and the third day will be Wednesday November 02. Then we carry on as usual. We have now reset the week. Now the days that used to be sunny in the middle of the week are now the weekend and we can ALL appreciate more sunny days on the weekends. If this doesn't work, I'm moving to Texas. They always seem to have sunny weekends. Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wizard765 Posted October 20, 2012 Share #4 Posted October 20, 2012 I took half a day off on Wednesday and rode from 1:00 till well after dark. It was sunny and warm and we had a GREAT ride. Love being self employed for that reason alone.. flexibility! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcarl Posted October 20, 2012 Share #5 Posted October 20, 2012 No way Thomas,,,, having nice weather in the middle of the week suits just fine,, otherwise it would get in the way of nap time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XV1100SE Posted October 20, 2012 Share #6 Posted October 20, 2012 Yeah... weather as fall sets in sucks. Cold (2C, 36F) and wet to start the day and either rains all day or warm at the end of the work day (16C, mid 60's F) but cools down quickly. Too cold/wet to ride to work, too short a time to ride after work. As for Texas... might be nice during the year but 100+ F in July and August? Gotta be somewhere better ! Florida.... hurricanes. Thinking New Mexico or Arizona, Southern Cal ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilvrT Posted October 20, 2012 Share #8 Posted October 20, 2012 So here's what we do. Wednesday October 31 will be the start of the reset. The next day will be Wednesday November 01, and the third day will be Wednesday November 02. Thomas GREAT! This means I hafta work 2 extra days just to get a sunny one...

Venturous Randy Posted October 20, 2012 Share #9 Posted October 20, 2012 Well, it is going to be cool today, but the middle of the week is supposed to be about 76 and sunny. I guess being retired does have its advantages. RandyA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bongobobny Posted October 20, 2012 Share #10 Posted October 20, 2012 What ever happened to your fall foliage ride????
