East Texas is FINALLY getting much needed rain. We have needed it for months. This drought has been terrible. I have only mowed the yard twice so far this year. On the way back from from the coast yesterday, I saw helicopters dumping water on forest fires in Jasper county. Hopefully we will get more rain so our lakes will fill back up.
Plenty
We have had plenty we can lend you!!!
There’s a pretty massive storm system forming over the Eastern Continental USA right now… Therefore, there has been forecasts for thunderstorms and tornadoes all week, keeping me from longer training rides
Hello fkb,
Thanks for sending your rain in our direction!
We had rain in Southwest Louisiana today too.
It hasn’t rained in months here either.
It’s supposed to rain all week.
That’s not so good for unicycle practicing,
but it’s good for just about everything else!
rain rain go away that’s what all my haters say.
Why is that not good for practice? I just got in from practicing! It was barely sprinkling though. I got in some practice between showers. When the lightning started up again, I went in the house!
Depends on your pedals. Some get as slippery as ice when they are wet. So, if you go out after the rain stops and everything is still wet, you could have a dangerous foot-slip-off-the-pedal accident.
I have Shinburger pedals (black) on my 36er (purple). When wet, my sneakers slide right off (but my “MUni” shoes don’t, so I wear them instead).
Anyone who wants some rain you can have some of ours.
Driving back up here from home yesterday I had to change my planned route 5 times because of flooded roads and washed out bridges.
Way too much rain recently.
Thanks for that uni57 !
That’s exactly what I was afraid of.
My pedals are slick when wet, so I fear the pedals as well as the wet cement.
You have a great point though, fkb.
Maybe I should get some different pedals.
Then I could practice when it is cooler… after a nice rain.
Darth Elevator has a great video of him and his daughter riding with umbrellas in the rain.

You have hateful, malicious pedals.
LOL, I forgot about that, um, … incident. Don’t worry. I washed your blood off my pedals! All is forgiven.
Rain or not, I was riding today. It didn’t rain. Oh well. When it does rain, I’m hoping my work boots have enough traction to overcome the lack of friction on the pedals. I could get new pedals, but I’m saving for a 29muni.
Harper, this is a bit (LOT) off topic, but I don’t quite understand your user title (768…) It’s been bugging me for awhile. Care to explain?
This is a topic that is certainly worthy of your concern. And this is as good a place as any to begin your research.
Reading that thread harper referenced initially only added to my confusion.
But with time came understanding.
768 is the great destroyer of divine plans.
Welcome to the 768, my brother.
Agreed.
I have been enlightened.
I now see that 768 is the answer to the ultimate question of death, the multiverse, and nothing.
Try various shoes. Some work better than others.
