Been on the beach nearly every day for the last two weeks here in Jersey, lovely. First bit of rain today.

Going home tomorrow though

Back on the bike on Monday

grrrrrrrrrrrrr

Came back from annual vacation in the sun to usual British pouring rain. First day back in the sadlle, took a slide on a stop line. No damage to the bike except a bit of enamel and decal scratch and a fooking big road rash on the side of my arse. Lovely!

Today was different though, still weather and hardly a cloud in the sky. Put a PB on the way to work.

Commuting is great.

Rather pleasant 'oop North

My forecast is that the rain is now over and there will be sunny dry weather for several weeks now. My forecasting method is very simple .... I put the mudguards back on my bike last night!!!

 

[Jake]

lol

Good god I have always got mudguards on.

 

[fossyant]

That logic is correct. I took my guards off the mtb in April just prior to getting my new work bike.......rained for two weeks

Solution for wet shoes is to stuff them with paper - newspaper works well or paper towels. Stick them in airing cupboard for even speedier drying.

I love cycling in downpours. Particularly at this time of the year when it's not cold.

 

[Jake]

no airing cupbaord. poured water out of shoes, which was the only part of me which was warm, the water in the shoes. Oven did the trick, plus warmed me up.

still lots of water laying about this morning. Straightened wheel out this morning, seems ok.

had 2 hours sleep lsat night because of effing neighbours.

 

[Miquel In De Rain]

I dont have mudguards.Mudguards are for Nancies.

 

[Trevrev]

I love cycling in the rain !

At last the sun is out - first day this week that I made it home unsoggy from the rain
