Ye me too, It takes so much effort cycling against it. I don't really like heavy rain either and a combination of the too is worse.

wind definately is the worst, all other weather types are bearable until wind is introduced to power them along. And it's been bloody windy ALL YEAR, I wish I could move.....

3 degs, windy and wet. I can hack sub zero (even enjoy a bit of snow), it's the penetrating cold you get with wind and wet I hate.

Not a big fan of the rain, I don't mind so much when it starts halfway around a route but it's mighty difficult to leave in the first place when it's raining, learning to love mud though, new challenges .

i prefer wind and rain to hot and humid! at least you can ride!

Cold wind is horrible

I just don't like being wet. Such a horrid feeling.

Although cross winds are pretty awful as well.

WIND :x !!! I hate it! I was actually looking forward to riding in the rain today, as i got a set of Kenda Knarly's on Friday and was eager to see what they are like in the mud, but as soon as i looked out the window this morning to the site of horizontal trees.........I dont think so! All other weather conditions i can put up with, and rain dosn't bother me at all. I like it when it is frosty too as the air is so fresh.

was out for 5 &1/2 hours today, got rained on, got muddy - and nearly blown off the bike on the single bit of road we used - and had a good fun ride .

Wind and cold are my least favourite - especially both at the same time. Add rain / sleet & it's the pits

The wind that changes direction so that it is your face no matter what direction you're going in :x

Anytime the temperature falls below my age(59).

Riding into strong headwinds is the worst possible for riding.
It's right up there with black ice.
The rest is fine, even rain is ok unless it's torrential.

Fog. I'll ride in pretty much any other weather.

I've just been riding in wales and saturday was the funniest in terms of the weather. I was riding in machnylleth and i rode the Mach 2 trail (i thought it was crap) and i started from the carpark in the usual overcast sky. Then as the ride went on I had rain storms, sun and the best of all - driving hail. I was riding along a ridge and the hail was coming horizontally across from my left. thankfully it wasn't from the front but driving hail is certainly the worst for me.

Stifling humidity. Just kills you!

Favourite? Autumn evenings with a gentle breeze, the sun low down, the smell of a fire in the air and the pub waiting... oh yes. I feel a Mint Sauce moment *sob*

Man up girls.

I can't stand the heat for climbing, personally I love the cold and wet, but then I am a rower so, by definition a bit wierd :twisted:
