"Sig Nature" ride - Tuesday 29th December

[stevevw]

Bibshort weather by then.

If it is still bad we will have to all spend the day in the pub eating cake and drinking.

 

[marinyork]

Fingers crossed the weather improves by Tuesday.

According to the forecast you'll get some 3 and 4s at Friday/Saturday. No idea what'll be like next week.

Revised route if weather Ok.

A couple of sections will warm us up if it is a bit cold.

Or if weather not good.

Cafe to a pub which is right by the station.

Both look good Steve.

Metcheck are saying overnight rain, but above freezing temps. Nothing for late morning or afternoon yet.

Cancellation is not an option for this ride, Mike e has bought a ticket and Sig needs another excuse to celebrate her birthday.

 

[marinyork]

Argh what happened to these really warm temperatures of about 6C I saw for the weekend in London?

 

[marinyork]

What are the conditions like there now? Compacted snow? Slush? Snow? Clearish on main roads?

 

[redjedi]

Where I am in NW London, the roads are clear. Pavements still a bit icey.

But Herfordshire is further north and in the middle of no-where. You Northerners should feel right at home

 

[mistral]

I'll take the lead on my new ride

 

[marinyork]

If you can do about 8mph on that that'll be great for me following behind .

I've been on holiday since the weekend and have done absolutely nothing except mutate into Homer.

Homer? Cool! Should be an interesting contrast to Apertif's puns.

 

[Aperitif]

I guess something about Hector never riding behind another's shiny cycle-chariot should be cyclically punned here...

...but over to the experts.

That was a bit duff Crock...

Hello all,

Still without a computer at home and this is my last day at work, hopefully I will still check in before Tuesday.

Not sure what it's like in Steve's neck of the woods, up here it's ok but I haven't been commuting by bike. A lot can change in a week, it might be hot and sunny... but is more than likely going to be...
Still, we can all meet up and worse case scenario spend all day in a pub or some pubs, this might not actually be worse case after all.

Looking forward to seeing you all and in the meantime.........

HAVE A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS

Forecast is looking quite good at the moment. Some rain overnight and early morning, but clear for the rest of the day.

Above freezing overnight, so hopefully no ice and double figures for the rest of the day Might have to get the shorts out
