Weather

[Mo1959]

I decided it was too windy to ride today, so I've cleaned the bikes, changed the pads on the road bike which I should have done three months ago and changed the punctured tube on the commuter. Now going to drink lots of tea and either watch some football or more than likely fall asleep in the bath listening to the football.

..........so should we expect some gurgling soon as you fall asleep and disappear underwater?

I'm off out for second dog walk. It's trying hard to snow and still very windy so should be fun.

I have 20 mph winds, and don't mind so much going out. It's the 1 F or -16C that keeps me riding indoors. Above 30 mph, even in summer, and I'm staying in. Especially since I'm often using panniers. Rig for full sail!

Thanks both. AM and PM rides to university and back in the wind. Bit blowy at times and snow on the way home.

I'm planning that one this year did the flat 100 last. Never heard of an audax before that

Need to get out, going stir crazy....the wind just won't fark off and now ice and snow is a major risk. Might walk to the main road and keep to the main roads.

fark! Just started major hailstorm!

Personally I think anyone that cycles in wind like it is here is off their trolley

Was bad enough trying to walk the dog in it.

As long as toto and you dont end up landing on a witch with ruby slippers you should be ok .

If I have a roof on my shed, carport or house in the morning, I will be surprised. It is screaming out there.

I had very good advice on 25 January 1990: don't go out. I didn't. A colleague of mine did, and never came back. Wind kills. http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/climate/uk/interesting/jan1990
