Summer Commute - UK style

[Softsoap]

Its supposed to be summer here - right? The ride into work this morning took longer due to the heavy rain and strong headwind (rare to get strong winds in the morning)

So I leave work this afternoon; am soaked after about 1 mile (bad). Already wet so might as well take the long way home (good).

The bad news is that the weather forecast is rain for the next 10 days!? Glad I'm visiting USA for nearly 3 weeks in July! We have flash floods throughout the UK, and the prospect of a damp Saturday ride in the Cheviot Hills!

Enjoy!

So?
You've got winter gear haven't you?:D

Been bone-dry & mid-20's for the last two weeks, that WAS summer in the UK...

and here I thought it was normal for you guys to not have a spot of vitamin D on the entire island...forecast for the next century: grey.

Ah but y'see, it means we're all well practised at riding in mud!:D

Actually, we've had about a month of hot dry days, just been torrential rain for the last 5 days though...


..we'll all still be out this weekend on the trails - non of this 'wait til it's dry' malarkey for British riders, oh no!
Mind you, it's a bit of a bugger trying to figure out exactly what kit you're going to need at 7am tomorrow morning!
