Gloooooomy out there this morning. I think it's actually getting darker and the rain has just started battering off the windows. Oh well, just a couple of soggy doggy walks today. This weather depresses me so much that I can't be bothered doing much anyway. Hope it's better elsewhere and some of you get out.

Weather not to bad today in Leicester, very windy, but warm enough for shorts this morning for a quick ride to Aldi to get some mincemeat.

Yuk, don't like mincemeat. Just round at the Co-op for some shopping and they had mincemeat pies with brandy sitting at the counter reduced to £1 but still not tempted! I did buy a large bar of Galaxy and a packet of choc chip cookies though and have lost count at how many cookies I have eaten This weather better pick up soon or all my hard earned weight loss is going to be back on.

Managed to get out windy as per the norm @ the moment but no rain. Glad i put on the mudguards though some lanes sodden with mud and crap.

And i might add the putting on of mudguards was to protect my new varium jacket....

Don't mind the old bike getting a bit dirty now...

@Stonechat I just read of your loss. My condolences.

I have been very slack lately with the riding, getting some walks in but still gaining a few pounds from all the holiday food and sweets. At least I have been able to get a few things done around the house and to the lawn, so it isn't a total loss. I hope to get back into a riding routine next week during the holidays, even if the weather does cool off again.

@ItsSteveLovell nice looking bike

Having been serviced, the bike is riding like an absolute dream. Going to book in a maintenance course for the new year which should help me keep it like this for longer

I bought a book in the hope I can do the same

I didn't get out yesterday due to having mega long lists of jobs to do, around going to work. I was hoping to get out today, but I'm laid in bed listening to the rain and wind beating on the windows.

Coffee it is then! Then more jobs to get the house more visitor-friendly!

If I don't get on here again for a few days, have a Wonderful Christmas one and all. And here's to a fabulous 2014 for all my virtual friends x

Thanks for al the comments here, I have a ride today - if it's not too windy- still much to do for the forseeable future.

Glad to see you will still manage a ride. It will give you a chance to clear your head a bit if nothing else. Take care.

It is a bit miserable here. Barely light and it has been raining overnight and is very chilly but I think I might just take the mountain bike for a short run.

Absolutely hammering down here, typical

Maybe this afternoon?

It's certainly getting tough getting out just now Brian. Hope you make it later.

Huge puddles on the roads around here and sleety rain blowing in the wind. Not the most pleasant of rides. Chance of snow later but the forecast is a bit vague at what level it will fall. Hope I don't get stranded when I visit Dad later

I did make it out but my PC won't recognise my Garmin for some reason, have there been any changes to the Strava homepage that I need to know about please?

Is it anything to do with this?
