Apologies for the weather

[13 rider]

I feel I must apologize for the bad weather as it may be my fault . 2 weeks ago I bought a nice shiny new bike since when the weather has taken a turn for the worst sorry
Booked a day off work today to put some miles on it but it's not going out in this . The old Defy may be let out it the rain later
Once again please accept my apologies ,I sure this weather will break

Phew, thank goodness for that, I thought it was caused by me taking my carbon bike out during the dry spell 2 weeks ago.

Consider yourself thoroughly blamed - your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries.

It is also the fault of the weather that this thread was duplicated, I suppose.

Skin's waterproof... Man/Woman/Person up!!
Rule #9, and all that.




I hope to go out on Sunday, when it's stopped

Not your fault - it's those TV weather girls who decide what we get.

And weather guys...in fact I’m sure it’s the men who are to blame

Then there was me thinking that it was my fault as I bought a nice garden seat two weeks ago. It has been covered up ever since and now doubles as a bird bath.

You could change it easily, just fit mudguards to the new bike.

No that's down to user error

Mudguards !!! do you now how much they would slow me down ? Think of the extra weight.

The weather's pants because I *had* to go out on the bike today. Needs must, and stuff that needs doing waits for no woman.

I had to pour the water out of my shoes.

Oh thank goodness..
Not just me then.

I bought a new bike, late on last year.

From then, until Christmas the daylight started lessening.

I thought it was my fault.

Thankfully we've had an upswing since then.

For a moment there, I was worrying I'd bought on the apocalypse with my spendthriftery
