It hasn’t rained in California in what 300 years? So it probably will on Saturday:)

Fatty, haven’t you learned anything about The Secret? If you are too introspective you might shatter the shield of confirmation bias girding the entire concept. You need to have blind faith in The Secret and don’t let anything dissuade you.

I said the word “Moab” whilst in Salt Lake City last weekend. Do you think that could have been enough to jinx your ride? I apologize in retrospect. My bad.

I don’t know where you’re going in California, but likely very nice. You don’t need a weather report for May.

You weren’t the only one making a bad go/no go decision. While most of us had a glorious ride on Slickrock, as we got the Ahab parking lot, it started to sprinkle a little, and Heather bailed, Ryan bailed, and another couple bailed. So just me, Steve, and Kenny headed up. The dark clouds in that last pic skirted us to the east and Ahab was awesome.

As we reached the car after the ride, the skies opened up and the downpour started (at about the time we would have been 3/4 through with White Rim). We texted Ryan and called him an idiot for not riding Ahab with us. Mollified, he drove straight out to Ahab and rode it alone. In the pouring rain.

Like Donovan in Indiana Jones and the Holy Grail, you chose . . . poorly.

Wouldn’t the fact that you live in the desert be a major component in your ability to keep rain from affecting your riding?

It just ain’t fair! When you decide TO ride, it turns out miserable and you wish you were home. When you do go home, someone always posts pictures of an awesome ride. It just ain’t fair! But… there’s always next time!
