Since last September when I was able to start riding again after knee surgery, I have ridden to work nearly every day. Only left the house one morning when it was raining when I left here, but I can't count the days I have been able to ride to work dry, and back home, while it rained a lot during the day while I was at work. Everybody there thinks I am suddenly "hard core", and "crazy" (they are right about that!), but I just laugh and smile when I walk out to enjoy a high speed strafing run home while they climb in their cages.
I couldn't keep my job if I was wrong just 1/2 as much as these so-called weather forecasters. I watch the forecast to see the "big picture" - where the Highs and Lows are, and what they are doing, and the Doppler radar. Then I make up my own mind what the forecast is going to be, and RIDE. When there is no news to report, these clowns make a 10% rain chance sound like a monsoon! How many people cancel great weekend/holiday plans because of some lousy flawed forecast? THAT ought to be a punishable offense!
I don't know which is worse - believing the forecast, or predicting it. Most days the sun shines a lot more than it rains, though.
