It's bollocks. Just wish there was someone I could complain to!

I live in Cornwall, it always rains.

When it's not raining it's foggy,well it was when I lived on bodmin moor,
All the old biddies at the doctors used to moan about their aching joints as it's so damp

I have a lovely shade of brown,sorry that should read rust.

So everywhere then?

Not in NE Scotland. But only because they are used to severe weather and don't need to be warned about it.

So everywhere then?

Not quite. Travelled from Windsor to Southampton today and it was dry all the way. Although I understand it's now lashing down in Windsor so I'll agree with doseone.

Those bloody eastern Europeans have come over and taken our jobs, women, summer!

My avatar picture shows me after a year of cycling 5 or 6 times a week. We'd had a mild winter followed by a good spring and a 'proper' sunny summer. I weighed 12 stone 10 pounds and I was fit. I was romping up climbs in a 39*21 gear that have me grovelling in 30*28 now.

I now weigh 16 stone. Every year since 2007, I have crossed my fingers and hoped for a good summer to lift my spirits and encourage me to get back on my bike but the summers just are not happening. Well, strictly, we are having little premature summers in the spring which promise much but then fail to deliver. I am so depressed by the whole thing that when we finally do get a sunny day, I often don't even bother to open the curtains.

If this is a sign of climate change, then I am going to have to consider moving to another country because I can't take much more of this damp greyness!

Prince Charles is in town today to see the aftermath of the recent flooding and it is in danger of happening again!

Er, that's a 'yes' Paul - my cycling has almost been terminated by the crappy weather! Only CC forum rides are keeping me going.

training time and mileage down this year but thats down to having another child rather than weather.

No severe weather warnings here, which is good, 'cos I don't like it too hot.

See i'm not going to say i'm not a racist, in fact i'd say quite the opposite, i'm exceptionally racist, i hate ALL races equally, including my own.
its the only way to be both fair and avoid confusion.
the sooner these bloody english type people leave england the better!

It is chucking it down in Windsor .... Free weather update

There was a large yellow glowing ball spotted in the sky over Leicester yesterday. Investigations are under way, when we discover what it was I'll let you know.

I think some of it is the expectation it might stop at some point. I only really ride my bike for leisure/fitness rides and short utility rides to shops, so the weathers made it less enjoyable and im less inclined to go out. Its also impossible to motivate other people to come cycling with me when they look outside and it looks miserable.

The warm weather in March had me doing well over 100 miles a week (quite a lot for me), April, May, June has been back to around 40 miles a week. I run too so that takes up some of my exercise slots

The winds probably more annoying though, sat upright its like ploughing through custard. Although it has let me get some nice Strava times with 25mph tailwinds

This is one of the wettest parts of France. Fortunately it does rain now and then.

Darn! (Was that the "racist" bit btw? )

Isn't a racist a cyclist in a speed event?
