Summer sucks!!!

[Xover]

prolly get flamed for this, but frankly I don't give a rat's ass

84 friggin' degrees out right now in SLC
2 days ago was skiing creamy Alta pow, pow in 24 degrees
now 'bout damn near melted when I walked outside
go away bikers, climbers, trail runners, hikers, etc.

bring back winta!!!!

[altachic]

I hate the heat, more than lots of things.

But seriously...if you had a bike, you wouldn't be complaining.

[Buzzworthy]

X, I am right there with ya. I went out for lunch and we now have the freaking air conditioning on in here. It is about 79 in Logan right now, that is hot enough.

I still want to get out each weekend like I have been to skin at Basin or Powmow. Not looking good with the damn 5-10 forecast.

Should rode the motorcycle to work today.


(oh, and I have a bike, but it is a POS and I am still complaining )

Time to work on it more I guess. Hell, 2 inches of front travel and hardtail circa 92 in bright green is not what I would like to be on right now. I need access to GT40's garage.

[Stanyo]

I agree whole-heartedly.

[MOHSHSIHd]

its like 86 or 87 here right now! not cool....seeing the snow from here make me want to go skiing right now!


i have a good bike, but its all fucked up and i dont have the money to fix it....bent big chain ring (fucking logs)....rusty chain.....my bike needs love....and a more fit rider...

[adam]

It's definitely around 90 in Denver. Fuck! Thats like desert temperatures. I'm counting the days till Loveland opens. Only 5 more months!

[lemon boy]

WTF you guys?

Summer isn't here, I'm grinding out the final days of spring turkey season. It can be summer once that's done on Sunday. It was CHILLY this AM at 7500' SW of D-town today. Puuurrrrfffecto!

While I do hate the summer heat, it is a great excuse for:

drinking beers
puttering in the garden
cleaning/sorting/storing gear
drinking vodka tonics
firing up the smoker
sitting in the hammock (drinking beers)
smoking the pipe on the porch in the evenings
drinking beers
mowin the lawn
picking veggies
drinking beers
grilling
playing golf, drinking beers
playing disc golf, drinking beers
nailing some spring/summer steeps, drinking beers
drinking beers

I love the idle time.

[Ireallyliketoski2]

Vodka tonic is a great drink, I like mine with the absolut mandarin.

[Johnny Gunn]

I'm not a big summer fan either (hate the heat)... but you gotta love the short skirts and tank tops that the summer heat brings. So, ladies it's time to put away the parkas and long pants.

[stump832]

xman, we can find you happiness in 3 simple steps.

1) buy a bike
2) make up some of those ritas you brought to the closing day shindig
3) meet me and craig this weekend for riding and drinking in the warm sun.

so simple!

also, jonny gunn is a genius - the man makes a very salient point.

I think I like this guy!

One typo, should be drinking golf and playing beers.

Can't argue with Johnny Gunn's logic.

I dig the heat but hate humidity. Utah's humidity is faaaar lower than Michigan's in the summer. At least you have that.

[CS]

Yeah, shorts, t-shirt and sandals suck, as do hot, scantily clad girls.

Also, go out and buy a rack and quit being such a pussy and lead some fine LCC granite.

And as other have said, get a bike, it's just as good as skiing.

You've been away too long.

You've been away too long.

So does your ___________ [insert one or more of the following: sister, mother, girlfriend, wife, steeze]

[Snow Ranger]

get a kayak. that way you can ski it in the winter, kayak it in the summer.
biking aint really even close to being as good as skiing. but kayaking...

[Samwich]

Summer in the city isn't very exciting, especially when you can't legally drink. Fucking america.

This summer, however, I'm pioneering a way to ski in the summer. That's all I can divulge at this point, but I'll throw up a vid sometime prolly in august.

[zion zig zag]

Bwa! Going in for an overtime shift @ 1800.

[CS]

Nah, petty much felt the same way when I was living in Utah and skiing way more. Now, biking is even more fun since my bikes are way, way better than the things I was riding back then.

But whatever, the thing is to not get all hung up on one seasonal sport, otherwise, yeah, the other half of the year you're all bent and annoyed.



Edit: By the way, It's looking like I'm going to be in your area in a few weeks, so you'd better be ready to show me the trails you have up there.

[skiHOG]

Good thing in two weeks I'll be starting my ski season again. Until then I'm laid back on the beach drinking cold ones. Anybody wanna summit in NZ?

make sure to give a little notice, we'll get the whole crew together for some shuttle action. YEAH!

[avacadotoast]

Does all this talk mean I should take off the snow tires? What if it snows next week?!

When should I start to mow the lawn??

It's 82 here in southern CO, I don't know where this came from. Even though I was skiing some pretty nice snow a few days ago and would like to this weekend, it's pretty freaking nice out right now.

I put in 40 miles on the road bike and am now sitting on the porch drinking an Abbey.
