I can't remember the last time it really rained. Dusty trails are great, but surely we need some rain soon!

Don you must be on the plains in spain then

I think there was a bit a couple of weekends ago, but I jolly well have not seen any since.
Don't speak too soon, cos we'll be getting some rain at some stage, that's pretty much guaranteed now.

Fred, have you got drifts of London Plane seeds out you way?
Posted 1 year ago # -
Ah mate; I have about 4 or 5 Plane trees just in front of my flat. We're knee-deep in the buggers! There were a few blocked drains cos of 'em, when we had that bit of torrential rain the other weekend.

What's rain?

We'll have our fair share soon enough
Its only been a few weeks without it and people are missing it already?
It can stay like this for a while for me

You'll get plenty next weekend.

We might currently consider the whole of Spain to be a plain.
Apparently raining in every Autonomous region at some point of the same day is newsworthy.

Well I'm off to Wales next weekend which means only one thing.....

No proper rain to speak of here near Derby for best part of two months - one of my water butts is empty, and we could do with a couple of days (ideally nights!) proper rain just to damp down the trails and keep the farmers and growers happy. Just come back from a week in Wales with a suntan FFS!
Though rain is apparently forecast for us on Saturday - that will be the day we've arranged a picnic with friends then.....

Dry as a very dry thing here in N.Wilts. Kite buggies at Bratton near Westbury yesterday were kicking up dust from the grass.

Was at the Clwyds today and the trails were as dry as I've ever seen them.
Rain is great, by far the best weather, you can keep your sun and heat.
Couldn't believe how much less it rained in the 18mths I was in Guildford than up here. I may be in the minority but rain cheers me up in the way that sun cheers most other people up.

Apart from anything else, the bluebells are wilting.

Thetford was as dry as I've ever seen it today. Even the big puddle near the Brandon Road on the black had barely any mud left in it. Shocking that no-one had raked the bunkers though
Made some of the jumps and berms somewhat interesting on my old Vert Pros.

Rain is rubbish. More heat please.

I'm pretty tired of being blinded by plane tree seeds riding about town. Sunglasses offer little protection so I might wear swimming goggles on my commute tomorrow.

Here (Bavaria) we've had lots of warm sunny weather punctuated by the odd heavy shower or day of rain. Perfect conditions for growing - the trees are all fully out, the wheat is knee high and the rape is chest high already. Amazing.

Even the usual bogs have dried up here in the Peak District. The dust is actually really slippy in places, kind of catches you out! I wanted to do Cavedale today but passed cos of the Bank Holiday, it would have been rammed. Bet even the limestone drop is bone dry now though!

No complaints here. Although it was windy today. Headwinds grrrrr

I've no idea how to ride dry dusty trails, I've spent most of the last 6 years riding wet and muudy ones! I could get to like it though. I imagine we are going to get all the rainfall we have missed in one weekend and some massive flooding.

We'll pay for all this sunshine, you'll see.....

Mahoosive low pressure area off to the west of the UK as we speak - think it's due to cross Ireland tomorrow.

Big grey clouds and spots of rain on window here

Sherwood Pines' grinding paste now replaced with very-hard pack dusted with slippery sand. Worn Conti mountain kings plus dust equals bike on ground followed by knee and shoulder and little bit of swearing. Luckily no harm done. Would be a little churlish to complain though!

Whereabouts are you, Matt?

Killin, Loch Tay

We've just spent 3 days in North Wales without a drop of rain, unheard of at this time of the year.
Hope we don't have the usual dry, warm, sunny spring, followed by the wet, wet and wet summer.

Wait till I get the okay to start riding again and then watch the biblical floods come.

It's been great riding round Malvern and Ledbury for weeks. Just a bit worried all the good weather has been used up and mayhem will be a mud slog fest.

The remains of the US storms no doubt.

I left at just the right time then.
I've rarely known Scotland as dry as it is right now. Notoriously boggy mountain routes are completely dried out and fires seem to be breaking out in the Highlands.

lot's of rain.
