Uber-pissy here & has been for days...

The closest we'll get to anything to do with bikes today is shuffling a few around/out in the rain so that we can cut 4x8 sheets of OSB in the shop. Rolleyes  ZED took the day off so that we can work on the next step of our kitchen renovation.

5C this morning here. More rain to come today but the weekend has some breaks and I am picking up my new Conti Trail Attacks this afternoon and can't wait to give them a test.  Cool  Roads look like they have been scrubbed after all that rain the past two days.

Wow.  And I was sweaty when I got home last night because it was like 90 and humid yesterday.  Guess I'll quit whining about the weather now.   Crazy

Funny, people keep telling me how cold Edmonton is vs. Calgary,  but that's only a few days in the winter and summer.  Spring and Fall are certainly nicer up here.

Weather and pass conditions will impact my route, and which bike I decide to bring will have an effect too, thanks to the 150+ km disparity in tank ranges.

Are you heading out on the 10th too, or just thinking about a brief torrid rendezvous?   Smile

And I can't help it, I have to giggle every time I think about the "T" in KTM.  "Heh heh, he said Trunkenpolz, heh heh heh."

I meant that to Dave, John ....  Lol  Not that I would not ride out and meet you for a beer anytime !  

I am leaving on June 6th for the national.  From what I can see of the long term, there is definite change in the weather next week and temps will start going up to norms and I am hoping for a high to build in after all these lows that have pushed through. The jet stream is due for a loop north ...

We are leaving Custer on Thurs morning and have no clear plans on a route back.

So glad to hear that!  These past few days, I feel like I could be back in North Van...

I'm gonna be heading west around the middle of June, then south--I'm hoping for good weather by then!
