Spring weather woes

Every spring starts the same way with me missing riding opportunities because of two reasons.

#1... Paying too much attention to the weather forecasts (and believing the weather folks are going to be somewhat right)

#2... Not riding on Saturday because Sunday’s forecast looks better, and then it turns out Sunday is so bad that I can’t ride at all

This was one of those weekends, I didn’t get to ride at all, although I could have both days had I just ignored the weather forecast. So I blew it BIG TIME! Decided to skip riding on Saturday since it was cloudy and cold, and I had so many things to do, then today I woke up and then it started to rain. It did clear up but a big storm and possibly a tornado was on the way. It ended up being party cloudy and 50 degrees most of the afternoon and it didn’t start to storm until just a bit before 8PM.

Even worse is jumping between four or five different weather sources and each of them saying something different! Which do you trust most?

Sorry to hear that. I gave up on the forecast went camping and put on over 200 miles.
