The video clip in this report suggests Ireland is far better equipped to deal with flooding than we are.

The local council building walk ways from scaffolding and planks BEFORE the floods arrive!
Don't believe a word of it . People in Salthill , Galway City recently came out of the cinema after watching a film to find the wind and seas had suddenly risen and blown their cars into each other and the carpark flooded with seawater to about 3 ft ! about 40 cars badly damaged and some a write off ! . Here is the true picture about flooding in the link below !

Despite the forecast it's a glorious spring day. It's a good thing Rovers is my second passion.

Sunday looks like stay in bed. Monday is looking good. :smile:
Yes....its been a lovely day here and tomorrow's forecast is also for sun.
Good news !!!!
I have been able to lift my bike off its hooks and get the saddle back on (what a pain that was). Amazing how a bad back can affect everything you do.
So........I am planning my first ride tomorrow. Just a 10 miler. Heres hoping ^_^

I got back from Ullesthorpe about half one with 41 miles on, brings my total for the year to 751 miles, which isn't to bad. It was an upside down kind of morning, the forecast was for a dry but windy day, the first shower arrived on the outskirts of Coventry and the pattern for the ride out was regular short sharp showers and short dry spells, I did think about abandoning the ride but instead I decided to head for Ullesthorpe instead of the farm shop at Whetstone, I arrived at the cafe looking a bit like a drowned rat, I found a table near a radiator and used it to dry my gloves off. The sun came out whilst I was in the cafe and I had a dry ride home, the ride home was ridden mostly into that strong breeze, so it was slow and hard , I got to Monks Kirby And decided to add a loop on so I rode down through Brinklow and on into Coventry then down the Binley road before turning right to head home up Hipswell highway and Sewall highway. I could have done with the rain on the way home rather than on the way out but I'd largely dried out by the time I got home so it wasn't a bad ride in the end.
