Not today

...nope...today looks altogether bike unfriendly...to bloody cold and a stronger wind than yesterday...I may give it a miss today...erm...the riding i mean....wimp i hear you say...aye says I...wimp....

 

Fantastic morning over here big lad! crystal clear blue skies, gentle breeze, birds singing in the trees, people smiling and waving, cars giving you plenty of room and a cheerfulk 'peep' as they pass.......oh ok. The first bit was true at least.

 

I'm riding from cardiff - machynlleth this weekend over 2 days. I could do with a really strong tailwind...

 

An advantage of having a 'bent trike as well as uprights. In a strong headwind the 'bent is much easier to ride than an upright.

 

Aye, t'was a struggle riding to work this morning with the child seat on the back. Literally like riding with the brake on. Good exercise though and hopefully will make smart progress this evening.

 

That said, looking out the window right now it is gorgeous.

 

Get out there you softie. Bit chilly, bit breezy, nice sun shine

 

Well I just checked the weather forcast and I can safely say that I'll have an almighty head/cross wind the whole way. Oh I'm in for a fun weekend...

 

uh-oh. But to be fair the weather forecast isn't worth a jot these days I find.

 

That's global warming for ya !!

 

No, it's the BBC. And Mrs Thatcher.

 

I concur. Too cold, too windy. No point being a damn fool about it.

And further to my other thread - 'Hey Mr Cyclist, it's bloody freezing - wear some long trousers and socks! Or are you just HARD?'

 

We get the BBC West Midlands forecast from a woman named Shivali, (as in Dwali), couldn't forecast a monsoon in Bangladesh!!

 

You mean shefali oza... she's been doing the west mids weather for years!

 

It was really nice in North Wales this morning. Not too cold and nice and bright. I'm glad I took the car yesterday. It was raining so hard going back home that on several occasions, I had to slow right down because I thought the road was flooded.
