Wow that was wet!

[magnatom]

It certainly was in Glasgow/Torrance anyway! Some of the country lanes that I cycle on had been turned into rivers 3 or 4 inches deep, there were certainly times that my chain was in the water. One of the main roads I take into work was closed for a time as well due to flooding (Switchback Road). Luckily for me it was opening again as I got there.

Am I moaning about it? Not one bit. It was so wet I just found myself laughing and really enjoying the journey to work!

I must be mad!

If I get a chance I'll see if you can make out any video. The lens was probably covered in water!

...sunny here.

Nice & sunny here too (Leeds). Though they predict a downpour late afternoon. Just in time for the homeward commute.

Rianed overnight, just damp this morning, and now sunny. We are supposed to get that weather later today !

Damp on the road but no rain here this morning either despite the forcast.
Got soaked going home last night though, and tonights forcast is not promising.

Damp in Edinburgh and Livingston this morning - I think all your rain has come through now... I got more use out of my nice red Lidl cycling cape!

Here is an example of just how wet it was (and how much fun I was having!)

My goodness, are you sure you didn't get the road mixed up with the local river ?

There were a few places like that. Massive run off from the fields. Great fun!

I found the downpour in Edinburgh quite enjoyable - maybe I'm a bit strange!

[skudupnorth]

Love the rain at the moment mainly because it's warm ! Not sure if we will be friends during the winter !!!

Im north of you, near Aberdeen, and my morning commute home (yep night shift) was a wash out. I had to check behind me then move out from the flooded road side. Soaked through but smiling as i came in for hot tea and my bath... then bed while everyone else has their soaking . Great stuff!

 

[Moodyman]

A ride-thru bike wash! What more could you aks for?
