Chicago/Milwaukee Weather

Post by dwayneed »

Looks like starting tomorrow were gonna get some good weather! I don't even remember what it is like to ride in warm weather.
Gotta ride from Kenosha to Lake Geneva in the morning to get my Stella wiring looked at/warranty repaired. Should be a great ride!!

Central Ohio is forecast to get up to 80 with only a 20% chance of rain on Saturday. I am so excited I hardly know what to do with myself!

We're doing 40 degrees and thunderstorms this week. I'm just trying to be patient because I'm getting itchy to setup some group rides.

I was born in Milwaukee and lived in West Allis, Waukesha, Kenosha, Waukegan, Round Lake and Libertyville for the first 32 years of my life. I've always told people that asked that there were 3 months of bad and 9 months of really atrocius weather in that part of the country.

Lived in California for over 40 years now and in spite of the tax and spend socialist governments, the weather is paradise. It's been over 80 degress for the last week.

At least 25% of that is going to be tailwinds. Pick a direction and go!

There's a Vespa party at the Adidas Original store Thursday night. I might actually ride to it (though last time they did it it was pretty lame)

Def. riding to work tomorrow and thursday, though, since the kids are on spring break and I don't need to pick anyone up.

Your weather in the MW is better than ours.. We are expecting rain in "sunny" SoCal.
The scenery only changes for the lead scooterist.

Isn't there some sort of rule against SoCal folks complaining about their weather? If not, at the very least, I wouldn't expect too much sympathy. :mrgreen:

Nope. But when it rains, we think it is cold too. You know, low 60's. :shock:

Damn, where's that emote for a really tiny, out of tune violin that I never took lessons for? Crap, I don't even have enough sympathy to look for it. I guess now we know why I never took the lessons. It's all because of you. :evil:

I saw some of the Adidas/Vespa gear at our local outlet, not too thrilling stuff. Where exactly is the Adidas Original store?
