Here in Holland the weather ususally sucks bigtime. I'm not sure if it's worse than in the UK but I do know that we both meet the restrictions to call our weather shitty. The past few days however have been great, perfect for riding in the sun and enjoying mother nature. It feels great to sweat again!

Going for a nice ride after my breakfast has settled down. How about you guys? Is the weather in the UK (Or wherever you are atm) treating you well?

    Can only speak for the south of the country but its been superb for the last few days and if you beleive the weather forecast its going to get even better over the next few days.

    Fantastic weather here in the heart of the country. Out early yesterday morning, quick 30 miles before work. Should be out tonight, tomorrow morning and then a long (60 +) ride on Saturday. Bit of sunshine just makes me feel so much better.

    Been great for commuting, although arrived home dripping in sweat and feeling a little light-headed! My homeward commute finishes with a long climb!

    Englishman living in Holland or...?

    @team47b: When I hear Portugese it's hard to understand but when I read it, it's so similar to Spanish I understand almost exactly what you're talking about. :) You actually gave me the idea of maybe going on cycle holiday to Portugal. Is it any good?

    Good to hear that everyone is enjoying the great weather! I had a nice ride myself this morning in the sun. After a good shower I rode my bike to work in a t-shirt, shorts and flip-flops (its just about 5 km) when at about 8pm it started to rain like crazy! So I left my bike there and took a bus back home... dont tell anyone! :oops:

    Best winter in europe, we had about 5 days of rain last year! Don't come during june/july/august toooo hot. Not a lot of traffic and reasonable road surfaces. Check out the Volta Ao Algarve etapes footage on YouTube.
