  • I've been out of the country for most of November and so tomorrow is my only window for RRTY Ride 8. Planning on Ditchling Devil but the forecast looks a bit ominous. Hopefully there won't be any ice...

  • We rode that as one of ours a few years ago. Wet and windy as a bastard! I had to talk my missus down from the ledge (no, you're not catching a train home) so to speak.

    I just looked, it was Feb 2020

  • It looks good at the moment: no rain overnight and plenty of wind and sun to dry the roads. And tailwind when it is coldest in the morning gives you the best of it.

    The one thing that would make me concerned is clear skies overnight. Forecast says it should be cloudy so above freezing, but if it ends up being clear then it would most likely dip below freezing, so any wet bits from streams / water leaks would freeze.

  • Nothing beats the stressful little rush you get from a shit weather forecast on the last day available to complete a RRTY ride.
