FNRttC to Brighton 13th May 2011

[Aperitif]

Bother,

Met Office now suggesting considerable dampness in the Gatwick at 01.00....is this likely to be reliable?

Yesterday the Met Office was forecasting heavy rain and perhaps thunder in the afternoon for NW London etc - and I passed a nice hour yesterday, riding out of London in beautiful sunshine. It was lovely weather.


Gatwick via XCWeather

Yes. The forecast is for weather - 100% dependable.

We use that site at school, the kids have to check it everymorning & plot it into our Weather Board... It has been accurate all this week

0.1mm isn't rain. It's mist. And not much of it.......

quite a rush of cancellations, but we're still about 133 strong...

That Mr Fish is spreading nasty meteorological rumours on live BBC SouthEast TV this morning for the entire route (and my ride home) for the whole night.

I was going to take my mudguards off but fear that may now enrage the weather gods and guarantee a stormy night.

Hving decided to bring the sks'd winter bike (Simon, look away now) I'm ensuring for you all that the night will stay dry.

 

[ianrauk]

or you're fast asleep in bed like some people!!!

I've done my time..

 

[ceepeebee]

weather-pro has got a 5% chance of light rain along the route and it v v rarely lets me down. Have woken up with a sore back though, some stretching is required.

Just took then off mine so lets see who has the stronger voodoo

 

[rb58]

I won't be happy if I bring the 'Sunday' bike and I end up having to clean it because it got wet..... Last minute decision required methinks.

 

[dellzeqq]

I've come to the conclusion that we had an imposter on the ride last month. A young chap said 'I'm Howard'. Except that he wasn't. I think I know who he is.........

I wouldn't be surprised if he ordered a sausage and egg butty at the halfway as well. Some people are without shame...
