    quite bracing down in east anglia with intermittent horizontal rain to make it more interesting. I'll still be going out on my Thursday night loop though

    in London, started of with enough drizzle to make the roads slippery, and then moved through to full on rain with a nice strong gusty (always head)wind as well.

    Now just thoroughly miserable cycling weather.

    It has been wet and windy here all morning, but the sun is peeking through the clouds now. I don't know about riding, but I might go for a hilly walk if it stays like this.

    Hmm, now it is wet, windy and sunny!

  • Wet and windy here in North Wales.( that's just in the house!).
    We've had rain,sleet and sunshine in equal measures topped off by a stiff ( ooer missus) wind along the coast. I'll have to stay in and watch Dickhead's Real Deal. :roll:

    Here on the other side of the pond things aren't much better. Cold, supposed to rain,
    snow predicted for the weekend. In a word, "sucks".

    25-30 mph winds - great for Tailwinds, awful for headwinds.

    for the second day this week I've cut a session short. Just rode to work and back and missed the 5 x 4mins interval session I'd planned - just too dangerous on the tribars in the wind - VERY strong and gusting. To think I only missed two days thru' all the ice and snow.

    And on that note I take back what I said about "sucks over here". We're living in a paradise.
