Rain; please stop! It started about 8.00 on Tuesday morning and has not stopped. Literally, it has NOT stopped day and night. Driving rain being blown in by a cold east wind. I would far rather have the snow that most other places are getting; but this stuff is horrible. Walked to Morrisons for essential supplies earlier and got soaked despite appropriate clothing. I hadn't been over the door since Monday. Forecast is for it to continue well into Friday, then the next ice age arrives. No wonder cycling is very much a minority activity in this area, it takes a certain type of nutter to ride here!

Not a day for the bike.

Been off the bike for a few days with a wonky neck. Today the neck felt better, but it was too foggy to consider safely sallying forth on the bike. Nuts.

I share your pain :rain:
If there is anywhere wetter on this planet than the Ayrshire section of the Clyde, it is Greenock! My mate lives down "the splash" (keen cyclist - you might even know him) and even he has been housebound since Monday.

First decent day in Manchester land for a while. My knee is recovering. Back to back meetings all day today, not been able to get out on the bike. Might do an early finish as it's not going dark until 4:45pm

Annual? It's usually WEEKLY! I must be mellowing.......
Despite popular opinion my bit of Mull is not all that wet when other places are teeming. Today is the first rain we have had all week. South end near Iona is usually dry but the middle bit seems to get the bulk of the rain.

Apparently there are snowdrops on Iona. We're a long way off that!
West is best?
But this was August 2014. Soaking soon after Fionnphort. Fierce downdrafts round by Gribun. Fortunately squeezed into Tob. SYHA
