    good luck mate hope its not a horror day ... i have just accepted the fact the weather is cr*p all the time now ...cant believe im still digging out 10,000 items of clothing to go for a ride ...ok not quite 10, 000 but you get the pic ...



    im off round Appley Bridge way for a 50 .....just for sheer stupidity of it ....and trying to get ready for the Spud Riley in June and expecting it to be cold , windy and miserable ......today and in june !

    and we wonder why cycling is not a major sport in the uk :wink:


    all the best for your ride

    seen the pics from last years........ not fun ...... it will be a long hard look at the snooze button at 5.30 am if the weather is going to be apocalyptic on the day .....


    there's keen......there's committed .......then there's needing committing !

    here's hoping for early morning scorchio ! 8)

    How do you get on in the Struggle? Thought the weather was great until I got to Scorton and the heavens opened. Last 10 miles were like riding through a river particularly the A6. Found out my waterproof is only showerproof :D
