Not much rain yet, but lots forecast for tomorrow. Depends how heavy I suppose as to whether the trails can handle it without getting a bit messy. Tossing up Malvern or the Chilterns for tomorrow's ride personally...it's going to be pretty foul wherever I think!

Edit - lots forecast for tonight actually now, just showers tomorrow (BBC).

Tomorrow looks grim! Sounds as though there will be a fair amount of rain overnight.

Hope it's not too horrendous for you pedalhead! Of course next Saturday will be wonderful weather for the Winchester ride. ๐Ÿ˜€

The Chilterns were still dry today Pedalhead. There was even a little dust in places but in general the conditions were really good around Woodcote and Nettlebed. I think they've coped with the recent rain really well after two or more dry weeks.

Of course riding during rain of biblical proportions may not be the same if it's really due to be that bad tomorrow?

Thanks, that's reassuring. Looks like I may have a local guide around the Malverns lined up now so I think I'll head in that direction tomorrow.

Nice and dry here a few miles east of the Chilterns AND the bluebells are coming out nicely. And some jodhpurs around here today. Got back about 7 in drizzle, been raining harder since then so might not be as nice tomorrow.
