    MTFU.
    You're welcome.
    Sometimes parts break. Sometimes you crash. Sometimes it’s your fault.

    it depends on whether you'd classify MTFU as an acronym or an initialism.

    You're probably right - but I literally didn't have the energy to put in the '

    That's it. I'm spent....
  • I drove today (saving my left knee another day of torture into that wind) and when driving home I passed a small peloton of roadies, and the girl leading out at the time looked like she was dying in the saddle. That wind was blowing my car around, I'd hate to think what it was doing to those poor devils :(

  • Just as I was crossing the Kessock Bridge, the wind was reaching a steady 35mph on my nose. Don't know what gear I was in as I was climbing onto the bridge but I don't think I had too many in reserve

  • was minging on the way in to work, cashed in on the way home though.
  • Mmm embankment was a bit of a so and so! Mind you I did get a PR on Victoria to Albert bridge. Shows how easy I normally take it I guess!

  • First ride on the Indy today, was expecting a slow average with the extra weight over the fixed, but managed the same average on the way in and got blown home :) Weeeeee

    Have a MTFU :wink:
  • Woke up and the wind was a pleasant 10mph - now 25mph and rising (can see the seagulls struggling outside) :roll:

    Just off to rub in a bit mor MTFU and head out

  • Yikes - wind gusting to 60mph right now ACROSS the bridge. Look like I might need rescuing if it doesn't calm down a bit

  • The weather station got up to 70mph then went off-line.... :shock:

    I got a lift home as Mrs MRS was in town. I think I was wise. Even the airport was recording 40mph steady wind and that's pretty sheltered.

    I know - everyone should find out what it's like under a 40 tonne truck before they die :shock: :wink:
