The Great British Weather

You are special, Nuno... Very 'special'...

You are special, Nuno... Very 'special'...

Indeed, speaking of which, we need to get together tomorrow, I'm going to wests and you're coming. Get ready son.

Fuck, I only just saw that. Sorry I missed you man.!

Fucking fuk, another shitty day up here in the frozen North, getting a bit sick of this weather now, was forecast to be ok and wanted to got for a long ride, is blowing a hoolie and rain - AGAIN! Fuck off wind!

It was a great ride in today.

Roads were apparently devoid of idiots on bikes. I cant understand how or why the legions of nodders who have boiled themselves in their dayglo boiler suits all summer decided not to cycle when it rains a little.

Its like the Indian monsoon, washing the detritus away.

BINGO!
I was going to write exactly this but left it for you ;)

I cannot wait until winter, I remarked once safely in the office

How come you and i do the same threads/posts, yet while yours slip under the radar, mine get the inevitable moral conscience of dammit et al making yet another dig*.

*hoping by use of this disclaimer that dimwit stays away

?

I am water soluble. Plays havoc with the mascara.

jenny "crybaby look" j

I got a strange look from a nodder dressed for a monsoon when i rode passed in my t-shirt... Its like acid rain to these peeps...

Because I start a post like this and disappear for a few hours, whereas you start one and then write things like this straight afterwards to encourage retribution! And then you start calling everyone who disagrees a cunt :)

Ohh and I saw someone cycling carrying an umbrella this morning

This, there were nodders out there, only the one's that can wrap themselves in sweaty yellow plastic...

And I saw one hipster... fixed with no foot retention, which I mentioned to him, he said 'i've been riding like this for a WHOLE year'...
Being the polite lad I am I didn't laugh in his face... From his accent I'd guess he was a saffa not that that has any bearing on his cycling or my instant dislike of him!
He was also dressed entirely in black on a black bike in the rain... I'm not saying wear 80's day glo everywhere... But give drivers a chance to see you through the rain.

aye cycling in though Ally Pally, fins Park then onto Kings Cross was a delight, no random stopping, turning, crashing, nodding and the new one which my lady and I discovered 'wobblers' who are in training to become a nodder

I am neither as well but im in Shoreditch ;-)

Look, i think most saffas are morons, so your instant dislike is understandable. Hell, im happy that i have to prove that im likable. It saves me the time sifting through morons myself. But being saffa probably means he 'knows' better than you. Sorry dude, youre wrong and hes right cause hes been riding like that all year when the weathers good.

fucking mergatron

should this have not gone into the nodders thread?

I thought about that but the weather content was the crux of the post.

+1 Hardly anyone around, apart from the obligatory rugby short wearing hybrid riders with a streak of crud up their back from no rear guard...... I remember those days & the shocking realisation that rugby shorts looked more like hot pants...... those days are long gone - rapha do make v comfy shorts

I was thinking about posting something along those lines, for the sake of brevatey I didn't, I now realise I would have sounded like a cunt, but the way you put it is perfect! :)

so basically you were looking to merge it didn't really matter where or if it was relevant?

Do you have merging targets you have to meet?
