We had planned to celebrate our anniversary (a weekend early as I am away for work next week) by going biking. Made even more important by me being back after 7 months of injury and not having that many weekends together due to work. Had planned to go to Peebles or Lake District for the weekend but the weather forecast is rubbish. Doesn't seem wasting our money on the rain, so will likely spend the weekend from home and making the most of Newcastle and riding if we can.
Whats your plans?
I've agreed to guide a group on the Tox, Friday, Sat and Sunday, which means i'll probably be camping and wearing the previous days wet gear, nice!
There will no doubt be beer, cake and cream teas over those days, WIN.
Beer festival
If I was here I'd be windsurfing
But I'm flying to Oz 😀
So mostly I'll be sitting in an aeroplane 🙁
Off to Morzine on Saturday. Weather is crap there too.
FoD uplift planned but might cancel if it's definitely gonna be shite, I cba to drive 2 hours down to ride in muddy shite.
If my new bike turns up which I very much doubt then come rain or shine I WILL be going for a spin.
Failing that then I'm on the ale.
Paintballing Saturday for a mates 40th, RIAT sunday for lots of fast noisy military aircraft
Assuming I get pass, Exmoor on Sunday with Roly et al.
Should be taking photos of the Campeonato de España but it looks like the car won't be ready, so I will probably ride over and just spectate and say adios to a few people.
Tox on Saturday.. big family do on Sunday.. Dartmoor on Monday.. 🙂
Did have plans to go walk up The Glyders in North Wales on Sat with some likeminded friends. but it looks like a washout. again. Had a good mtb today and Mon to keep me going for a bit though. Might just spend the day catching up with crap that needs catching up with 😕
Beer festival
I like beer. Where is the festival?

Solo Mendip ride on sunday, 😥

Sisters wedding on Saturday, working Sunday afternoon. Wife and me have 100 desserts to make tomorrow evening between us! I'm going to need a drink Saturday!
Hopefully ride Penmachno unless the weather is really shite which it probably will be..... So In that case I'll be buying the Harry Potter boxset and watching that 🙂
Ooops did I say Harry potter I meant Rocky 🙄
Towing the caravan to Dorset for 2 weeks with the mrs and our 5 little ones.
Hope the weather peeps are wrong 😕
Already paid for a track day at Donington in my Westfield. It's going to be a wet and slippery one I fear...
work sat work sun 😥
I forecast a poo on both saturday and sunday. Saturdays one will be a curry poo and may sting a bit, sundays may be an instant pan filling beer poo.
Sionwms - penmachno was great today, just a few sploshy puddles here and there. it's the best you can hope for!
Working night shifts, so I'm glad it's raining:)
hacken bei tegernsee am sonntag....

Taking the Mrs to Alicante to buy an Apartment
And also to do some planned riding later in the year.
Mrs gets the sun and beach i get both and some Guaranteed future riding
instead of going all the way to Wales and its pissing bloody down 
Working night shifts, so I'm glad it's raining:)
I love going to bed off nights when it's raining…drifting off to sleep with the sound of rain outside Mmmmmm.
Was supposed to be camping and going to the Cumberland show on Saturday in Carlisle, but the forcast is poo, probably just stop at home and work on my new extension, digging drains 🙁
Doesn't look great, so gym or local rides between the showers will see
Sorting the drivetrain/slipping gears...
...hopefully.
Testing between the rains.
Got my big ride in during the week :))
Cheers
Paul

I've got one too 🙂
Good luck!
Nude lunges in the garden.
Never check the forecasts and don't look out of the window.
Enjoy your ride, I will.
Best do some work - I've been riding three days already this week.
Actually good point need to service one bike so will add that to the list!!!
Saturday with the Mrs, don't know what we're doing yet as she's not told me. Rivington Sunday morning on the Mtb then help a mate move house.
Surfing. Works well with cycling... If the weather craps out and cycling looks horrible, the surf normally picks up.
And the sea is not freezing right now.
Planned on no riding this weekend, as I was out riding Mon, Tues, Weds, Thurs and may be today....
I'll be applying after sun lotion to the bits that caught it yesterday at sunny Llandegla.
Flying to Manchester. Meeting friends and going to see the wonderful Bj?rk perform. Can't wait!
Was supposed to be going to Dalby to do a 'TT' with MTBG (one lap of the red route, flat out). Now have a doc's appointment so it's a no go 🙁
Haven't even got any bikes in need of a strip/rebuild.
Hehee, well as the weathers going to be on the wet and windy side I think I'll take the 29er out and get muddy on Saturday morning, my OH is returning from a trip away in the afternoon so I guess we'll occupy ourselves (OoohhhErrr) then off to my sailing club for supper. Sunday..hmmm, windsurfing probably if it's anything W S/W and 20+knts I'll be throwing some shapes in the air and flat landing no doubt. I do have a nice bottle of wine to kill off and as I've missed my Girl I think I'll make a fuss of her..
Oh and the TdF is on, so if it's peeing down we'll be watching the Frank and Andy show.
why does the rain stop people riding? mud, slippy tyres and a great reason not to stop riding for too long 😀
pizza and good friends tonight, bbq tomorrow, riding sunday. beautiful.
