Great innit? Had a lovely ride Saturday which culminated in sitting outside the pub in a shorts and a base layer, and requiring sunglases. Then did the commute this morning in the same. Mental

Overall I'm liking this global warming lark ๐Ÿ˜€

Binners, are you in a different North West to me*? Granted Saturday was fantastic for a ride but yesterday was grim all day and today isnt much better!

But at least it isnt torrential rain at the moment so in that respect its fantastic!

*My observations are based on longridge fell for a bike ride, then chorley and warrington yesterday and today.

Unseasonably warm up here in Scotland. And it's been relatively dry too, although the trails are still wet.

I'm confident this will be a mild winter as I've stocked up on de-icer, snow shovel, winter gear etc well in advance...

And it was raining at 6.30 this morning for the ride into work, the difference a bit of mileage makes eh? ๐Ÿ˜›

Superb down south!

Saturday was a ride to the pub and sitting outside, and Sunday was a trip to the beach!

Today though, it's grey and damp... ๐Ÿ˜ฅ

You're not wrong there mate! It was hard to tell at times yesterday, was it the fog, my glasses fogging up or a mix of the two ! You need to pre-book the weather for the next one please ๐Ÿ˜‰

It is that.
On Sat we had 16C and amazing sunshine on the coast, warm up in the Downs too with early mist clearing to sun kissed fields. Sunday was similar but slightly more mist, yesterday fog and damp and today fog liflting leaving an opaque hue.

Autumns amazing.

Last night in Swinley was lovely, moist and warm ๐Ÿ˜‰ but 20 miles away it was pissing down.

I was taken my bike off the car later at home and my neighbours drove in; the look on their faces said it all. He said that they were use to my riding in bad weather and/or at strange times - but surely I'd not been out tonight?
