It was very nice here til about 1/4 to 4pm, It very quickly turned horrible Gales and Rain); I think I'm cleaning the bike tomorrow :biggrin:.

I must admit it was quite interesting getting home last night, desperately trying not to swerve too far across the road when a side wind caught me.

The best bit was the tail wind across the Forth Road Bridge, accelerating on the uphill section without pedalling, it felt like someone was giving you a huge push in the back every time a gust hit :biggrin:
 
Low visibility rubbish bags were trying to cross the road last night.Managed to throw one of the offenders onto the pavement.

Buggeration!!!

I'm off on annual leave for the next week and this bloody weather is going to put the kybosh on any training I intended doing!!!

:biggrin:

Mind you, weather forecasts = prostitutes knickers.
 
Well got through the fifth day of gutter hugging,sixth day tommorow and an early gutter hugging commute.

The early morning weekend commutes are worse though.

Were you cycling it at the time :biggrin: :biggrin:


Thankfully not, I'm taking it easy after my last fall on the ice. Went on the running machine a couple of days ago and felt the need to stop after about 40 mins as my leg started to hurt and felt like something was running down it.
There was nothing there but the original impact site felt quite hard again and although my bruise seems to be fading in the original location and no longer hurts, it has spidered further down my leg towards my knee, and that bit now hurts. So I have stopped doing any exercise until it improves somewhat. Otherwise I probably would have been blown away!
 
All doom and gloom was forecast for here this morning (heavy snow and gales) but its actually turned out not bad (dry and bright), there is a bit of a wind but nothing like what was forecast. Its been the same every day over the weekend if you believed the forecast you would never leave the door.

The forecasts have been so inaccurate recently.....

Sunday was fine, depite a horrendous forecast, heavy snow last night, nope - a little rain overnight, dry and breezy this morning, slightly damp roads....

Met Office says 1cm of snow this morning, then dry...what..computers have gone on the blink..Met Check's not much better....
 
The weather forecasts have been pretty poor recently, although metcheck did explain that the weather is difficult to predict at the moment (i.e. where the snow will fall).

This morning it was just a deluge of rain.... a normal Glasgow Monday morning!:sad:
