Getting pretty grim in nottingham so it should be pretty foul by the time i leave in an hour, but it's all time on the bike, so can't grumble.

Chewed my way in this morning comforted by the knowledge that at least on the way home the wind will be behind me!
That never seems to happen, particularly if I'm cycling along side the Clyde

*wanders off to see who's driving home my way later*

In Mancheter too - not riding home but night riding with the club

Yes. Chose the wrong day for the first commute since January.
Biblical rain and wind, however the wind "should" be behind me on the 15 miles home. I hope.

only 2 miles home, uphill the whole way. Will be reet (not started raining here yet)

Yes I would never sit smugly through the day comforted by the belief in a tailwind home. I find always best to prepare mentally for the worst then I'm seldom disappointed. Would be soul destroying to expect a tailwind home then get the usual cross winds that come after a headwind in.

I'm in Eccles and I'm riding to Marple. Work finishes in 55 minutes. There's still time for it to blow over....

Gonna pay on the way home tho.

I can confirm that the sky has indeed gone out here in Knottingley.
Gale force wind and torrential rain. Now where did I put my brolly. Oh yes. I left in the car. Well that's just peachy.

Like a washing machine this morning; hoping for a bit of wind-assist on return trip.

The rain at work is dancing a good foot of the tank park, horizontal with the wind and rather dark.
Love it

I'm guessing it's a westerly as it's lovely in Hyde, the evening sunlight is casting a beautiful golden glow over everything

Walking home here just outside Southampton. The rain's stopped for now but if the BBC rainfall radar is to be believed the worst is yet to come.

Stopped raining here in Yorkshire but it is still darker than a Conservative's soul out there...

In Notts downwind on the way in right ....tard on the way home now with rain and no waterproof. Quite good fun in a sadistic way

Stoped and might be clearing here too, lots of water on the ground though.

Its howling a gale and the rains coming in sideways!
The balloons gone up and mrs toppers is diverting to pick me up.
Not possible very often so its a nice treat. Although I suspect i'm going to get soaked loading the bike into the car!!Posted 5 months ago # -
MTFU boys and girls your skin's waterproof!

That was a bit of an epic! 26.4 miles of horizontal rain. Key 103 news reader lady said there was a tornado in Stockport. I didn't think it was that bad. Never mind, strike day tomorrow.

I am, but not far. Please take care, a cyclist was killed on the A590 in south cumbria this morning (no other details known).

It was torrential in Nottingham when I started getting ready to leave the office, and everyone laughed at me.
By the time I got out the door it had stopped, and it was a dry ride home. Came in the door feeling very smug and chipper....
...to be confronted by a pile of steaming coats and shoes in the hallway - apparently the walk home from school co-incided with the downpour

Rode in this morning, was getting ready to come home when got a phone call from my wife
"don't even think of riding your bike in this"
Suitably told off got a lift in our van
Felt a bit of a cheat, but it was very gustyPosted 5 months ago # -
Proper teeth gritter with a head/side wind in + side/head wind home.

18 miles home and no rain! Even had a tailwind
A lot of standing water though and a monster hail shower 5 minutes after I got home

Windy in this morning - but not too much rain on the way home - just a side-wind and I may have belted past the cute girl from the end of the office - what was I thinking!
