Today - 15 degrees, beautifully sunny, I'm sat in the office (and its my birthday)
Fri/Sat/Sun - I'll be in the Quantocks biking, so its going to be freezing, wet, with sleet on high ground
Grrr / Brrr 😥
Edit - there's absolutely no purpose to this point other than to broadcast my disappointmnet as I'd been looking forward to this weekend. And I'm coming down from the sugar rush of eating too many cakes this morning 😀
Flexi'd off and now 'bathing in garden with some blackberry based alcoholic drink.
British Civil Servants - best in the world. 🙂
Cheers & Happy Birthday!

Thats cheering me up - thanks Bear 😀
Looking forward to a great ride this evening. And beer.
I predict lots of dust tomorrow up the hills. Love this time of year when you get a sunny day 8)
Happy birthday 40!
Have been driving past beautiful dry tracks today. I'm on holiday , should be in the carribean but arranging a funeral instead.
Could really do with riding to the top of a hill and looking at a view.
Ooh, it's lovely. Had a cheeky day off yesterday and got 2 x rides in around my local woods.
First one super muddy, later one, still super muddy but noticeably drier in some areas.
The trails are effectively drying out, as I type, BY THE SECOND!
It wont be long before I can freewheel some of it again.
16c here and all reports indicate 'the castle' is dry. Yeah, if we could jsut pause here...
Likewise looking forward to this evening's ride
Happy Birthday 40..
Could do with another 10 degrees or so but otherwise OK
this evening's ride should be good
been at work on my day off! so ride tonight with a bivi with a few ales watching the sun go down
Naturally I'm spending these 2 days of gorgeous weather being sick as a dog.
Can we just put a pause on this weather please
Yeah i'd be happy with that as i'm off work for the next fortnight, but unfortunatly the colder weather is coming in this weekend which is a shame as i'm off to Aviemore for a week. Got a nice run round the coast last night and had a cracking blast down Screel hill t'day (nr to Auchencairn)

View across Solway to the Lake District hills from Screel hill
I'm working (as usual) in "that London".
Today I have commuted on my MTB to ride the super-gnarly off road that is Putney Heath, Wimbledon Common & Richmond Park on the way home.
Lovely views there somafunk !
Beats what I can see sat in an office in Hampshire 🙂
Don't wish to complain... but it is quite windy out there.
Well I'm just milking the last of my unemployment before starting a new job on Monday (after 4.5 months of hand to mouth) and it appears the weather gods have decided to give me a fine send off. 5 hours in the peak yesterday, 4 hours at wharncliffe today, didn't see a soul at either - perfect. Now drinking beer in my back garden. I appreciate none of this helps you, but it's making me feel better. Happy birthday, and welcome to the club, come in the waters lovely
Nope, just warm and sunny with dusty trails up here...

Feel for you guys working through good weather, did that for years but now I'm retired I love being able to take advantage of good weather. Got a spontaneous plan to ride Grizedale natural trails tomorrow and camp over. I'll be thinking of you, it'll make me appreciate it even more
Fri/Sat/Sun - I'll be in the Quantocks biking, so its going to be freezing, wet, with sleet on high ground
What forecast are you looking at? Friday looks wet but clear sat/sun? It'll dry up fast, by Saturday afternoon I'd predict dust in places...
Stunning today.

Snow forecast for Friday

Even Cut Gate is drying out nicely.
I sacked off work completely today, I ain't shuffling spreadsheets when it's like this outside. We only get about three of these days per year, tops. That's not many, life is short, I'm not letting them go to waste.
Lovely day. Shame I had to work this afternoon but managed to squeeze in a cheeky one first thing this morning.

Pentlands were terrible and dusty dry this evening and there wasn't even any wind to enjoy riding into
Grim out again yesterday...

Nice ^^^
Bit mixed round here today but good enough to be getting on with garden jobs (no riding until next week for me).
Cold, sunny, clouds of dust and occasional snow today. Scotland is [i]weird.[/i] Don't think I've ever ridden in short sleeves in the snow before, lovely.
