The Great British Weather

Yes / No / Maybe

Sitting here worrying about the weather making the trains a joke tomorrow. I'm heading to Suffolk. If I didn't have festive offerings to carry I'd take my SSCX and freewheel all the way home.

Apparently the trains are mostly supposed to be fucked today, so the train companies are all, "yeah, everybody just cancel your trains and get on tomorrow's instead, trolololol"

If there's no room at the inn for my bike tomorrow I'm going to be displeased >:(

The trains are a joke today..

Think i'm going to ride on wednesday instead. Get blown all the way to maidenhead by the tailwind :D

Commence operation stay indoors all day.

*regrets trying out the new turbo trainer yesterday when it was actually perfect day for riding

I thought about riding yesterday but the lure of the kebab shop was too great. Riding >>>

Christmas Eve looks bad too:

Fuck the wind. Last night and this morning was crazy.
This. And the rain. I actually shouted obscenities at the sky today. Fortunately no one could hear the screams.

Low pressure system means...

Surfs up!

Me and another guy were laughing at each other, both out of the saddle honking it on the flat on OKR just to maintain forward motion this evening on the way home. Never ridden in gusts as bad as that.

Half-day today and was feeling a bit bad for not riding in...until about 5 minutes ago. Yesterday was bad enough. Is it not tired of all that yet? Better not ruin the quiet roads tomorrow.

Dude, the weather isn't Easyjet's fault. Climbing on the desk isn't helpful.

Flying on Xmas Eve? Why would you even? #DieHard

Dude, the weather isn't Easyjet's fault.

Ah, but it is. Flying causes climate chaos. Climate chaos causes extreme weather. Simples. :)

In other news, the power is back on in Midgham, West Berks after 30 hours. Grrrrr.....

Winning! But what the hell were you doing up so early? Looking for what Santa left you?

Above Malham yesterday, from nothing to white over in 10mins. Hazardous driving.

''It's flooded but we can still sniff arses, right?''

Oh dear. Tailwind all the way in - not looking forward to home time.

is it motorbike weather? I have to get back to london from gloucestershire eventually.
