Oh oh ......... Looks like us cyclists are going to get very wet this afternoon as it is pouring down sheet rain and......and some SLEET as well!

Last night the wind was supposed..... supposed to be SSW pushing me home. It was NNE in my face with light rain and snow.

A taste of winter to come.

On and off up in Mcr. Wet am, just missed the heavy stuff, but got three more rides to do today, so bound to get caught out. No sleet up here though.

Had a bit of rain on the way in this morning, but now it is overcast and breezy. Forecast for the ride home is to remain overcast with patches of sun/moonlight. Temperature between 8 & 10 C with wind WSW 10mph gusting to 27mph and very good visibility. Looking forward to it.

Wet windy and nasty for the first 10 minutes - wet windy and very satisfying for the remaining 40 minutes this morning.

With a car sitting at home in the drive I must be nuts!

It's only just started again in the centre of town! Was fine this morning...other than some light spitting.

Very very wet morning for me, at one point so torrential I took shelter by the edge of a building!! Now gloriously sunny for the last 2 hours - and I'm inside now!!

Sunshine and blue sky in London at the moment but I can see some very angry grey bits waiting to come on shift about the time I'll be riding home.

Never mind - I was given a Rapha softshell for my birthday and it's the first filthy day I've had a chance to try it out.
