It's absolutely throwing it down here

[dodd82]

A very wet commute ahead of me... perhaps the wettest I've ever experienced (not been riding long).

Oh dear.

 

[Kiwiavenger]

you'll be fine. you can only get wet once!!! just get a nice windproof though to take the chill out of the wind on wet clothes!

For once is not us Mancs getting a soaking

Where is 'here'?

Don't worry about it - skin is waterproof! Once home have a hot shower and a mug of hot cocao. You'll learn to love the ride regardless of the weather

Im going to go out running in it shortly, so I can save the weekend for cycling I quite like getting soaked through as long as im warm enough.

 

[dodd82]

Loving the optimism!

potsy - I'm in Hertfordshire - you're right, thinking of my family oop North; we haven't got it so bad.

I'm inside today, pottering, day off. I looked out the window about 15 mins ago and saw it had started raining. It's been pretty grey and over cast all day. Still s'posed to be nice tomorrow for riding into work. Sunday doesn't look too bright - rain to wash off all the fresh lube Finish Line Pro Ceramic that I have put on my bike's degreased and spotlessly clean and dry chain. Bugger.

I just looked outside, the weather looks fine.

Yeah I just checked the weather for tomorrow. It looks dry for once in Manc, so time to plant some spring bulbs

Still though lots of wet leaves about today, almost as bad as ice for slippiness

I discovered Wednesday that waterproof shoe covers do not work when submerged!

 

[J.Primus]

It was raining so hard in London that I thought I was back at home in Blackpool!

 

[SW19cam]

What ever happened to seasonality and embracing different seasons? Anyway, I've noticed it doesn't rain nearly as much as everyone would lead you to believe

[Nigeyy]

I'm not complaining really but my new waterproofs still haven't had a proper test yet, 2 weeks of commuting every day and only 1 drizzly shower :-\
