The Great British Weather

Time to wrap the bikes up and bring them in doors.That nasty rain is'nt going to touch my tyres. Perhaps i should "harden the fuck up"!

It's sunny today...

^^^ just got back from a ride. sks raceguards ftw!
Just go out and ride, hence the reason for riding fixed.
Easier to clean and don't matter if they get filthy.

i want to go out on my bike!

no such thing as bad weather, now go out and pedal your mother's.

I was thinking the same thing(s), but with a hint of feeling betrayed. Two and a half weeks of no cycling apart from one time, due to illness and following back injury (I am only allowed to start cycling on monday says my osteopath), and I have successfully missed out on the nicest days of the year. Instead I am straight into the rainy season on monday, but then again, as ed said: There is no such thing as bad weather. Just impaired visibility for all people with glasses.

How do you deal with rain and glasses, btw, ed?

I don't, I just do a quick wipe with my finger to rids the squillion of raindrop enough to flood Amsterdam out of my glasses.

Bwahaha!

^nice picture!

Yeah. I hate when it's pouring down, just for that very reason. Not phased about anything else, as I got shoes that keep me dry etc ... The finger wipe method just makes it worse, most of the time. I end up having to stop and properly wipe. If there is another, better way to deal with rain and glasses, anyone, share you knowledge.

It does make it worse, but stop making me see double, I've seen plenty of double due to a condition in my eye,

A cap can help a little bit, unless you're going too fast it does keep the rain out providing it's long enough.

what shit weather...? Currently sitting in Golden Square with the sun on my back. Which is handy since my back is dripping with sweat. People are moving away from me, I must really smell.

the rain has returned! indoors everyone, quickly!

holy fuck oxfords gone mental.
biggest hailstones Ive ever seen!

Cars have actually had to stop driving.
and the whole place is flooding.
5 mins of proper monsoon rain, fucking amazing!

Right, I'm off before it arrives here.

just uploading some piccies.
unreal. the whole street is flooded.
ankle deep.

1hr and it will hit my place.. lucking i'm going out.. oh wait..

forked lightning too, I've never seen that in the UK.

and now the fire engines, police and ambis.
i don't think anyone was expecting that.

Poor the cows :(

Bloody hell, George, where was that?

Presumably, you had to go into hero mode to save someone from drowning?
