So please stop moaning about the weather as @Mo1959 says no matter how bad it is you almost always feel good after, if not more so than when its calm and sunny as you have to push yourselves.
now that is like saying we are not British... we are meant to moan about the weather no matter what it is doing...
(currently sunshine but I have the bike is parts cleaning it, still yet to actually get to look at the reason for the clean - my STI lever for the rear derailleur
).

Mad dogs and cyclists go out in the midday sun. (Well my son and I anyway).
As he`s on half term break it seemed wrong not to take advantage of such a glorious day. All kitted up we left Orpington, over the North Downs to Toys Hill and home again via Shoreham a nice round trip of 25 miles. With beads of sweat running down my face Im now sitting down with a well earned cup of tea. Have a good day everyone.

Ha, I can only dream of a sub 25 minute lap! I went out today for only my 7th ride this year, and it was uneventful save for a old lady who decided to pull out right in front of me as I turned a roundabout at speed, and a lorry who thought his 3 mph truck would get out of the lane quicker than my bike going at 30mph down the hill....but still, pleasant with nice weather bar the inordinate amount of wind on the Sawyers Hill stretch as usual. Felt like real hard work as I am soooooo unfit again, came back home without that adrenaline buzzy feeling, replaced by a feeling that someone, somewhere, had removed my lungs and replaced them with a whoopee cushion, and replaced all bones in my leg with marmite.
Nice to not get a flat, and get out. With the French Revolution beginning to loom like a damp wet fart on the horizon, I really need to get out more. I'm sure I've said that a few times this year already...
Hope all the regs, and the new guys are well

Out this morning for 13 miles around Savill Gardens/Ascot/Virginia Water at an average of 16 mph. Finally getting the saddle height right so more speed, less hurty knees. I always seem to think it is too high when it's not high enough. Resorted to marking current position with some tape on the seat post and hoicking it up a 1/4 inch, go for ride, repeat til it gives no benefit then drop to last marked position.

It never changes though, the data I have for last year varies from 7.3mph (July) to 11.5mph (Oct) but more usually 10mph on avg, so its invariable windy, and its as well to learn to ride in it, and how to deal with it.

Hope the undercarriage has improved. All the best mate.
