When is it going to stop... Raining

[Alex321]

It’s the weekend, and it is lashing it down. I’d like to say I’m surprised, but I’m not.

Pure sunshine here in South Wales, and forecast to stay so for the rest of the day. Rain tomorrow morning.

Not a bad ride today. Started out drizzle / light rain that wasn't so bad - main thing was it wasn't cold. Then a huge downpour for 10-15 mins. Then more drizzle And after that pleasant with blue skies.

I really don't like starting a ride in the rain. I feel like an idiot. Getting caught in the rain is fine, could happen to anyone. But to actually set out on a ride - a recreational ride at that - in the rain. To get up at 6am and look out of the window and, rather than going straight back to bed, to say "it's pissing down, I'm off out on my bike". Surely only a complete idiot would do that.

This afternoon it has dried up, so out for 1/2 an hour to grab a couple of photos for the numbers challenge.

Waited for the rain to pass first thing and got out for a decent ride, quite warm and bright this afternoon.

Lovely sunny afternoon ride today. 22 miles, which may not seem much, but it is the first time over 15 miles since my accident in August.

Dry here the last few days, just a bit of a drizzle now and again.
There must have been heavy rain overnight, because my morning commute was full of puddles.
The wind started to get strong yesterday evening, but calm now.
I didn't go for a ride today, because I helped fitting a kitchen instead

The north east gets the edge of the storm a.m. tomorrow.

Apart from that there are lots of fine, mild and windy days ahead. With wind I often choose to shelter along the main coast to coast track.

Apparently after lunch in the east midlands, up till then we are going to get battered but thats nothing compared to the rest of the country though, stay safe all!

Horrible morning already here on the Costa Clyde. Wind about 45mph (apparently), heavy rain, and very dark. Only going to get worse as the day goes on, with winds peaking at 65mph gusts sometime around 6pm before it starts to ease overnight. Praying that my roof can withstand it, as previous experience has shown it gets a bit fragile in winds over 50mph.. Anyway, a day for some domestic chores. Yawn.

Wet and very windy here in Leicester, definitely a day for sitting around and consuming lots of tea.

Hopefully our friends north of the border don’t get hit too badly with the storm.

Started getting breezy up in Manchestershire after 7am. Been a few showers.

It is wet and blustery here now but it is supposed to dry up over the next couple of hours. After that, sunshine but with strengthening winds. I want to do 3-4 hours on the bike to get my weekly target done. I have planned a hilly route on quiet, scenic hilly exposed roads but may stick to boring, busy valley roads if the wind feels too much.

So wet here I’ve sorted the sock drawer.
