just fed up to the back teeth with the freakin weather in the UK mate.
Rant over thankyou
and i couldnt wait for summertime to arrive :roll:
As long as you're putting out the same effort it doesn't really matter does it? :S
Fed up of the cold rain though
Course it matters. It's frustrating.
cycling is so much better when its enjoyable . when the rain is pelting out of the sky and the wind is pushing you backwards whilst you are trying to go forwards.........thats certainly not what i consider fun at all.
couldnt agree more.
the 50 miler on saturday past normally takes me 2 hrs 40 , but the damned wind meant it took me 3 hrs exactly and i couldnt wait to get home.
Strong sidewinds are about the biggest problem for me. 30+ mph gusts are enough to knock you offline too, and possibly into the path of oncoming traffic. I agree that a 30 mph headwind is not nice, but you can ride and feel safe, but those strong gusts coming at you from the side can be really dangerous. I went out in gusts of 30 mph, and got blown into the other lane and was lucky no car was coming, as I could have had a head on collision. The problem is you don't know if you will encounter sidewinds.
