[Tharg2007]

looking grim out there, im hoping it clears by the time I set off home but will probably get a soaking

Same here - new bike geting a soaking. Got me wet kit though.....

seems to come and go, hope to get a break in the weather at 5:30 but knowing my luck it will be sunny right up to that tame then lash it down.

Its cracking the flags in Liverpool You might find the bad weather passes quickly.

I have one and a half hours in the office -- I hope the showers blow over by the time it's time to go home.

this weather reminds me of the students i have seen cycling down oxford road, one girl had her wellies on (wonder how she coped with 2 full boots of water) and one riding along holding a large umbrella.
Would love to see them coping in this weather

Looks to have cleared at the moment, might make a break for it!

 

[Tharg2007]

lucky you, i dont have the luxury of just being able to scarper when i feel like it.

Killing time before 5-a-side here. Seems to have brightened up a bit (for now) but no doubt it'll be lashing it down again when I'm knackered and have to cycle home at about 7.15pm.

made it back dry!! and in one piece as a bonus

Argh..... chucking it down when I went to get changed, sunny when I got out.... rode home chasing the rain, no such luck, boil in the bag. Home, showered, had my tea, went out to clean bike - chucking it down....you can't win.......ho hum...

 

[janm399]

I didn't get too wet either -- only my legs and bum got a bit of spray

 

[OvertheHill]

No wet gear other than jacket. Made it three quarters of the way home then heavens opened on me. And I mean opened. In the 5 or so minutes it took to get home I was cycling through mini-streams and although my jacket kept my top dry my shorts, legs and feet were absolutely drenched. Got changed, put some jeans on and took the dog for a walk and the skies were partly blue - no rain. Brilliant
