..again

Forecasters have issued a weather warning for Greater Manchester with fierce downfalls and strong winds expected to hit the region early next week.
The Met Office has placed the area on yellow alert for Monday and Tuesday with residents being warned heavy rain and winds could cause localised disruption.

Business as usual then?

Monday morning's commute looks like it could be fun judging by the forecast!
Areas of heavy rain are expected to move north across
most of England and Wales and into much of
Scotland except the northwest, and much of Northern
Ireland during the course of Monday, with winds strengthening
in many areas. Both the heavy rain and very strong
winds have the potential to cause localised disruption.

I don't think I'll bother brushing my hair before I set off!

Warning applies to Leeds/Dewsbury as well.

I'm glad I've set up the Lethal Impact bike for commuter duties with a set of mudguards. It's got to be used each Monday as I'm on a different site and I won't leave anything valuable there.

Given it's still not entirely safe - SWMBO thinks I'm about to die - anyone stealing it is literally taking their life in their hands.

Sounds like a damn good excuse for a ride tomorrow before we get washed out.

Looks like its time to invest in a turbo, great day today though.

Time to be a Badass!

// If you are out riding in bad weather, it means you are a badass. Period.​

Fair-weather riding is a luxury reserved for Sunday afternoons and wide boulevards. Those who ride in foul weather – be it cold, wet, or inordinately hot – are members of a special club of riders who, on the morning of a big ride, pull back the curtain to check the weather and, upon seeing rain falling from the skies, allow a wry smile to spread across their face. This is a rider who loves the work.
