They are off .......

[endoman]

My mudguards, forecast for the next week is decent, I have a 25 mile TT at the end of it and won't be having mudguards on for that, so i've taken them off tonight. A nice psychological boost that the weather is turning, also rode in fingerless gloves tonight, lovely.

The cruds came off an awful lot easier than they went on, I hope I can get them back on easily when needed,

It's gonna rain all summer now and I'll blame you

My work bike has guards all year round.

Took mine off last weekend before a ride over Dartmoor.

In the p*ssing rain, as it happened.

Still have guards on the hybrid, but am doing nearly all riding as training on the road bike. Don't need to commute so I'll take my chance on the weather for the next week, still looks ok for here.

Yep it will rain all summer :-) Are guards even allowed in a Time Trial?

What's the etiquette for shedding mudguards and club runs... is there a date? lunar phase? 1st Saturday after pancake day?

When other folk start doing it

with our unpredictable weather you can't set a date, it just seems to happen

Well I won't find out this weekend - can't make the club run tomorrow.
So will see at the following one. At which point I might just get banned from the club. But I've not had guards on the road bike and no point in putting them on now.

Guys..Guys...

It`s not even Spring yet. You could be up to your elbows in snow by the end of next week.

I hope not though because motorbike season starts next week in Denmark.

iirc correctly the ERC are so big its pretty easy going about mud guards, lots of folk didn't have them but the DCC are a bit more vocal about it and only a few folk don't have them. If the weather/ temperature keeps up they won't be needed anyhow
