The Great British Weather

Hippy, I shall sing you a song.

It will be thrash-metal though,......and oh yes, I can't sing worth shit.

It'll be fine. They say its the thought that counts. ;)

bloody hell!

The heavens have opened in W1

Ftfy

I had been feeling even more smug than usual on Tuesday

Left the house in my winter waterproof outfit

Rapha tweed jacket
Goretex hunting breeks
Knee length sealskins

The heavens opened

Sealskins sprung a leak (ankle height one side, mid calf the other) so I felt the glorious creep of cold water running down my legs and then rising as theyfilled up like water balloons.

Breeks performed amazingly (see waterproof trouser thread)

Rapha jacket held out the rain but the cloth covering got so waterlogged that it stopped breathing so my sweat just congealed inside.

By the end of the journey I was cackling at what a failed smug bastard I had been.

Fuckery

Have the same outfit with me today

Love your humility DJ

repped.

I need those breeks.

Why's it so fucking cold?
I don't like this country anymore.

Gimme a breek.

I was actually shivering on the way back from Wests last night. Broken Britain tbh.

YouTube- The Loft - "Why Does the Rain"

The only decent song he ever wrote. At least I've got waterproof trousers, and a Barbour jacket.

Soaked on this morning's ride in, but from underneath. The constant drizzle wasn't bad, but the splash up from the wet road had me drenched.
I wouldn't like to be in Ipswich though. Its looking a bit grim there.

Fuck. It's like the Punjab out there tonight.. No mudguards and only a shit rain jacket from Decathlon..

Ha!. My shit rain coat from decathlon - Quechua - saved my day,today.
I'm soaked waist down, dry waist up. luckily I have my mudguards fitted all the time now.

I also own a Decathlon Quecha rain coat, but I haven't used it yet for cycling. I find it warm inside, so am waiting till its cold AND rainy.

I was passed a couple of times tonight by a black guy on a fixed-gear Ewardes black track bike. His red chain went with his red tyres. Remarkably, he was dressed from head to toe in black waterproof gear, and had no front brake, and no lights, front or back. I salute this gentleman, as he is a daredevil of modern times. I am not so brave. I had 2 rear lights and one front light all fully charged and keeping me seen. It was 6:30pm, and the sun was no longer visible. Very brave man.

stealth water proof dare devil!!! Noice

i to was lights on at 5ish as i went to work, was surprised how dark it was getting, i hope stelthwaterproofdaredevil made it home to his super hero hide out safe.
