The weather - an apology

[rugby bloke]

So there we were - enjoying what seemed to be months of unbroken dry riding days. Until Monday, when we collected my daughters new rode bike. Since when it has been one long rain storm - I am fairly sure there is an old guy with a beard building an ark down my road. Hoping it will be fit to get out this weekend for our first proper ride together.

So to all fellow cyclists I apologize, I appear to have invoked the wrath of the rain gods.

I didn't help the situation by deciding it was time our outside woodwork needed a fresh coat of varnish.

The nation has much to thank @rugby bloke for.

Just 5 days ago the scientificistologists were shaking their heads worryingly, telling us there's a 'drought', and we all need to tighten our belts. Boom, it then rains a months rain in 24 hours, two days running.

I thought it was because I washed the worst of the bird poo off my car. Nice here yesterday but back raining again and, according to the met office, another week of this

No trees will be harmed when I get my brushes out

Least i havent had to mow the lawn, although i might find some interesting wildlife in it by the time i get around to it

I just replaced the gear and brake cables, all brake pads, handlebar tape and tyres on my commuter bike. If that doesn't offend the bad-weather gods, nothing will...

Can everyone fo out and buy mudguards?

When i first fitted some cruds and wanted to test them we had a 2 week dry spell. In November.

I washed the bike this morning and got it all sparkly and shiny. Even opened up a brand new bottle of oil for the chain.


It's currently sat in the hall still dripping water over the carpet from the torrential downpour that hit on my way home having survived the drizzle of the last 2-3 hours.
I'd even put laundry on the line outside before I set off.
Typical.

I thought it was because I booked a go at Meadowbank Velodrome - it doesn`t have a roof!
