I hate to complain about something thats out of my control, but this "summer" here in lower mainland is complete garbage so far.
Lets recap:
Our weeklong trip in silver star in late June was rained and clouded out,
3 weeks of July were rain or clouded over
1 week of sun late July, followed by more cloudiness and rain, some sun, and here we are today Aug 8th and the forecast is more cloud for the next 5days. Perfect!

I grew up here and I remember back in the day we would have blocks of 3 weeks of nuthin but sun, that made enduring the bad weather worthwhile.
I'm going postal here people. Does anyone else feel robbed so far? Or let the flaming begin by telling me to get the hell out the country.

Meh, it is a beautiful day, get outside.

Rain doesn't stop you from riding either.

I was rather un-stoked… the week I had booked off work to go camping and riding was the week in July it rained solid.

I've been in Whistler for 7 weeks now, and I would say half of the days have been cloudy with at least some rain in that period. It's a shame. Oh well. Maybe we'll have a nice fall:???:.

welcome to vancouver, where mountain weather meets ocean weather and makes a nice mix of BAD WEATHER, although this summer has been worse than most

fuck lmm

I like how he casually dropped the "I'm famous" bomb.
LMM, if I ever see you at Whistler, make sure Schne is close by to take a picture of me punching you in the balls.

i dont post anymore unless its a lmm thread

Meh, it was pissing out a couple weekends ago and I still went up to washington. It was cold rainy and windy but I still had fun, it makes certain trails extremely challenging.

All you can do is make the best of it, and it could always be worse.

Burn more gas and coal to turn the coast of BC into a Mediterranean climate. Sure there will be many uncontrollable wild fires, but it will be sunny!
