Anyone else doing it?

In light of the weather report for Sunday (yellow warning of rain, flooding and gales,) hypothetically, would you do it if you were already signed up!!?

Not doing it but the forecast looks like a standard autumnal day to me. Might be a bit blowey on the tops depending on the route (not seen a map for it) but it wouldn’t concern me if I was doing it.

Cancelled now due to the expected weather and already flooded and muddy roads.

Somewhat relieved that decision has been made for me as my Campylobacter seems to be having a resurgence and I feel pretty grim again, plus I've hardly ridden in the past few weeks.

But also disappointed as I had this set as a target to be aiming for at the end of the summer.

The roads around Bowland are crap at the moment, hedge cutters have been out this week too, lots of wet leaves on the road and walker fold was covered in shitty clay on Tuesday which may have come of the fell rather than dragged out by tractors (which are also covering the road in crap.

Suffice to say I'll be out for a spin early 😉

Did a ton around the Bowland fells yesterday and saw all the signage out. Got drenched and crapped up (yes I went by Walker fold 😩)
