[Closed] Where the flip was everyone today?

I'll probably go out for an hour or so soon, just got a new road bike so fancy going for a spin. Its cold, wet and windy here, I imagine the grizedale challenge was wonderful

Okay it was cold wet and very windy

should have popped over this way, lovely near Risborough, but I've been out running as I got my biking fix yesterday & boy yesterday was a beauty

They were all on my local trails! ****in M25 this morning, normally we are the only ones out!

Kev

Was out at 8am today. Wet but still quite warm, great ride. Didn't see anyone else though.

i was with the Pope

Out last night.

I bottled today but was at Llandegla yesterday on my hybrid.

I bed with a dry throat, a cough, knackered chest and a cold?

That's me!

Wish I was out in the cold and wet and wind 🙁

p.s. have you ever really looked at the eyebrows on that smilie? He's really miserable. He wishes he was out on his bike too.

Pissio here today, work then clearing the drains.

The Stanmer trails were much busier than normal. Everyone we passed looked super chuffed to be out in the sun.

Man U vs Liverpool - you missed a great game!

Loads of bikers on the Quantocks today.

Oldgit, they've all been busy registering on dating websites 😆

Queen Liz / South Downs was heaving with cyclists and that's not including the road race that was on near there too. Took the mrs out for an offroad excursion... it was as daunting as teaching her to drive!

Drove through MTL land and up to Gisburn to try out my new motor. Blimey - it was raining hard out there. One road had a river of water crossing it near Gisburn.

I think I made the right call today. I don't mind a bit of weather, but a deluge is just too much water for my liking.

just popping out now for couple of hours...

Wet but warm here, drizily no wind very low cloud. Cloud started to clear by mid morning but quite strange to see the clyde valley filled with cloud and me up above it in almost sun shine.

I made the most of it being sunny and dry yesterday, and did a long road ride. Was ace, only saw two other roadies inthe 5 hours i was out, and had an excellent tail wind on a flat stretch and was flying 🙂

Legs a bit tired today so went for a short run, during which I felt like death warmed up so I'm glad I didn't ride or attempt my usual Sunday run!

Errr i'm Flip..

Was entertaining my son, it's my weekend 😉

I popped out for an hour or so with the kids to Thetford forest. It was quite busy on the black route. Everyone enjoying themselves and chatty.
Taught my little girl how to go over rooty drops, which was nice.

SPAM BLAST, Cool breezes and miles of dusty singletrack.

Not many out on Bodmin Moor today either. It was overcast but dry & the trails were running fast :o)

Saw two guys on MTB bikes later on going up towards Caradon Hill but they turned off at the bottom & I never saw them again.

9am was digging a trail in cheltenham (missed my alarm for the 8am meet 🙁 )
Then 1pm was a 35k ride across cheltenham to painswick beacon and back. this was after cwmcarn friday and my local loop yesterday.

I feel dead.

was out at 9am up at Mugdock for 3hrs.. got very wet and muddy... much fun 😀

At doctors this am getting antibiotics then Twickenham for coffee and waitrose. Back home for motogp then a snooze, an hour or so in the garden cutting things down and now a pint.
3 Peaks training going quite well I think.

Battersea Park with wife and kids then a lap of Lotts Wood when we got back.

Ruthin marathon with about 850 others 😀

[i]Okay it was cold wet and very windy, but I didn't see a soul all day except for an old mate [/i]

Didn't realise that Leighton Buzzard has it own weather system?

Bit chilly, but a real dry day down on the North Downs for us.

Did the SPAM Levington Blast, it was great. Not sure what all this complaining about being cold and wet, course on Sailsbury plain was a little dusty if anything!

I did the Grizedale, it was wet, very wet 😆

I bet my day was crapper than all yours. Got to work at 06.45 to see a paramedics car outside the prison, & thought 'oh oh', sent straight to the wing & sure enough my fears were realised, a 'death in custody'. Sh!t way to go at 35.

I did the Grizedale, it was wet, very wet

My mate went up to watch and he said a few people appeared to be sacking it off after the first lap and going home.

Some natural trails at Afan Argoed, plus the Black Run and Whites. Only met two guys on the trails all day.

Am I allowed to link to YouTube?

May contain some naughty words!

GT, like a summers day up there.

GT, like a summers day up there.

At church in the morning, then instead of a road ride with my mate who just got his first bike, stayed in bedtil just now with a horrific migraine. Gone now but that really wasn't a fun 6 hours. And the day has gone now! Bah.

At Dalby Forest building a pumptrack, then SingletrAction EGM, twas very productive.

was doing a local mtb race in New Jersey about 21 degrees and sunny, lovely day for ride, managed to start last and pass 4 people in the 1st lap am now relaxing at home

Did Dalby in the p1ssing rain and mist.
Still not convinced it was worth the 3 hour drive though.

br I got soaked near Whipsnade, then blow dried all the way home.

Must be you southern softees 😛

Did the Sue Ryder Bronte Challenge with about 300 others, pissed it down but great day.

You know the cold, wet and windy part? Well that was why I wasn't out. I went somewhere warm, dry and inside to ride my bike...

I'll get enough of the wet, cold and windy thing next week at the Three Peaks CX...

Me I had a nice couple of hours on the roadie this morning exploring South Wales, nice clear country roads no traffic and a smattering of hills, all in all a pleasant Sunday morning.

Woburn was dry and fast all morning. Loads out, half a dozen of us and loads of Resovoir Goats. Not crowded but busy.

SPAM Biking on Salisbury Plain for me too.

I've just rolled in from what promised to be an uninspiring night time tow-path bimble after pretty much six weeks out of the saddle with a bad back..

However.. upon reaching the city center at the halfway point of my ride I was greeted by the welcome sight and sounds of a festival strength reggae DJ.. pumping out the tunes at festival volume.. to a scruffy crowd of about 20 merry folk on an otherwise completely deserted quayside..

very pleasing

not only that but my back behaved impeccably and my legs are now waaarm and glowing..

lovely weather too..

good times

Okay it was cold wet and very windy, but I didn't see a soul all day except for an old mate coming the opposite way and he didn't recognize me.
Got some strange looks going through a village singing 'That's amoré' at the top of my voice - lonely you see.

Edit: Not even the obligatory fat geezer on a Cervelo.

Perhaps you entered a zen like state and just slipped out of phase with this physical reality as can happen when you become one with the trails.
