I don't like it but appreciate it why we need seasons and the images-brown leaves on trees on either side of the road like an arch.

I don't like the rain or cold but buying the right kit and you're fine.

Ok I'd accept a Australian passport just for the heat any day. 8)

i hate it.

I still ride regularly, but just dont have much fun. I think it depends on where you live. In the chilterns everywhere becomes really muddy, the horses churn up all the bridleways... Which means that its nearly impossible to go quickly enough to have fun. Whereas when i went to the peak district in december last year, the riding was great fun.

Also i hate the cold, as i have mild [url= http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raynaud%27s_disease ]reynauds disease[/url] .

I enjoy it, it sorts the wheat from the chaff.
Ride whatever the weather and at least now it is not freezing cold and the roads are not dangerously icey

I really like Autumn/Spring riding as its the perfect temp, don't feel I have to strip off at the bottom of hills and then put layers on at the top of the downs. On Wed night in the Pents I didn't mess about with layers until hitting the road back into town when I put a jacket on. My favourite though is really cold, frosty and bright.

I love it because all the "golfers" stay at home....

Autumn is really cool for riding and nature looks spectacular.

Love it, gets all the fragile little summer riding darlings away from the mountains and trails and leaves it all to the manky muddy old gits like me ๐Ÿ˜€

also means that regular cannock rides will be singlespeed until it drys out again due to the evil grinding paste that eats all components in record time(so that'll be about the 43rd of julember then!)
