Yes, I was thinking that when I looked out of the window about an hour ago.It was the right decision; it's a filthy day.
It may well clear up later, but that wind would be a killer.

It was windy all day here. The rain was off and on all day, and some of that was really heavy. I am happy with my decision. I hope that conditions improve for SITD and the postponed ride.I did a ride from Llandudno to Manchester when this ride was cancelled, the rain persisted for 20 mins at the start, then we had bright sunshine in Wales! Just to let us know we were getting close to Manchester, it rained from Lymm all the way home. The wind was great, we had a tail wind for the majority of the ride!
Oh well, catch you on one of the other rides then ... Have a good, er, sail!Sorry Colin, my sailing club has an open day that day and they are short of sailors to take visitors out. I normally help out each year, but thought there would be enough volunteers for me to miss it this time, but turns out they are struggling so afraid I've got to miss out on your ride this time. Definitely will catch up with you later on in the year though.
Maybe we are trying too hard?There must be something really exciting going on that weekend that I hadn't spotted!
OI, YOU LOT ... IT'S A LOVELY ROUTE, COME AND JOIN US!
Indeed!Maybe we are trying too hard?
I have no idea what is going on, leading rides, and in particular going to some effort to make sure they will hopefully be enjoyed by all is an entirely altruistic undertaking. The numbers on CC are growing fast but it is only a small proportion that have any interest in riding with others socially. We did ask some work colleagues who ride but not CC members and they were all for coming with us. I don't get it.
Indeed!
A friend accused me of being "sad" for spending so much time on the forum. In the past, I could always counter that by saying that it was a means to an end, and that through the forum I was doing regular rides with lots of nice people but it almost feels like that time has passed and I can't quite work out why.
I see more and more people out on their bikes, and the numbers here on CC are increasing, so why is interest in the forum rides decreasing?
Maybe everybody else is still getting a good turnout and it is just our rides that are lacking numbers!
So that's a 'no, thanks' from you then!I am doing more walking than cycling these days, I find I can fit it into my day better. Also the problem with going to do rides a long way off is that you have to drive there before you start the ride and I don't really use the car very much over the weekends these days so my rides tend to be more locally based at the moment.
So that's a 'no, thanks' from you then!
Are you even doing SITD this year (this Sunday, Apr 12th)?
