Was looking forward to riding this weekend as I've been far too tired this week, only thing is it's belting down. Anyone braving it?

No rain here, just crazy wind. Riding home yesterday I was doing >400W just to do 15mph on the flat. Sod that!

Snow, sleet, rain, hail, freezing temperatures. I'll take them all but wind, I hate riding in wind.

Just for a couple of hours off road a bit later. It's raining and howling, but at least I'll come back jet washed.

Better ease off for Sundays 100, too early in the year to really have to battle the wind and rain on the road.

Lovely weather in Scotland as usual, dry and sunny with a light breeze. Unfortunately I'm taking the better half to look at wedding shoes.... 😐

Was supposed to be going out for a road ride with 3 others, we usually do an early Saturday coffee shop run of about 60-70 miles. Last week it was dry but VERY cold so we only did about 45 - I was up for more but no-one else was!

Anyway, this morning I was the first one to bail but I know none of the others went out either so don't really mind! Properly rubbish weather here, not heavy rain just the persistent soaks-you-right-through sort. 🙁

Could do with going out really, need to practice on my clipless pedals before going out on monday night and make sure my gears work with it being a new bike!

I went out this morning on the HTN course. It was banging it down(still is) and super-muddy.

Gore tex jacket and shorts, I was dry and the ride was ACE.

Get thee out there.

Was planning to do a ride, but decided on a morning of tinkering instead!

Having just been out, I can confirm that the light Scottish breeze is however a headwind whichever way you run into it. 🙄

I'm out on the bike tomorrow, which the metoffice suggests will be a rather wet ride.
