Been an absolutely top 10 days. Not quite bar b weather come the evening as it drops cool fast but for biking this week it's been awesome!
Pretty sure it's the best this year. Easter was great in N Wales this year and last but this pips them both in terms of duration, sun, temps, and almost no wind
Had the last 2 weeks off work.
Which is nice...
Not down here in Hampshire it's not. I've had it pretty good, hardly seen a drop of mud all summer. In stark contrast to where I actually live.
The last few days have been beautiful. 21 the other day. Looked lovely again this morning out of the office window. Popped out in shirtsleeves to join the masses outside Greggs and it was freezing.
I was just thinking just the same thing after today ls ride

Don't worry, I've booked BPW for the weekend, it'll either piss with rain for the next 24hrs, or it'll look like the single most amazing piece of future planning on my part...
Not quite BBQ weather?? What's wrong with you man, it's dry! You may need to eat indoors but the coals still cook!
(4 x BBQ's in last 2 weeks)
Yes.
Yep it's been brilliant for most of September up here, so much good riding has been done. It's pretty much made up for the rest of the summer.
Will definitely fire up the chimenea this weekend for a last hurrah.
We did bar b last weekend actually, totally forgot. It was probably the fact my mind was numb from cold as we were camping at the same time.
Yes. For the first time this year, its been...

the weather around edinburgh has been stunning all week. glad to get out for a few hours this afternoon - trails are dry and fast. very un october-like. it will all become a memory pretty quickly though, forecast is to change as soon as tomorrow up here.
Certainly since June which was corking too.
had the last six weeks off, start new job on monday - amazing weather
September was fantastic in the west of Scotland. Couple of rainy days but last couple of weeks have been brilliant. Made the most of and rode most days managing a total of over 900 miles for the month. I've missed the rain though
Not sure what it was like elsewhere, but June was bl**dy fantastic in Hants. 25-30 deg some days. Pretty much the whole month without rain.
Typically the school hols were terrible 🙁
All our roses have come back into bloom in the last couple of weeks.
Yeah June and July were pretty lovely here in South Wales from memory, sorry to admit, I booked 2 weeks off work in August for a 'stay-cation' so obviously it pissed down - sorry about that.
But, I think I've made a mesne, Got flu 3 weeks ago, followed by a bout of Pneumonia so of course the weather has been lovely, I'm 99% better and heading to BPW tomorrow - I suspect storms to form any moment.
Yes.Lovely commuting in Herts....but I was bloody cold this morning !
Seen some beautiful sunrises on early road rides this week. Sadly with the nice weather I've run out of excuses to do some gardening.
Possibly the best spell
But we had some scortching weather in I think late June early July. 1st of July was hot, I had an open water swim and sat out until dark in a T shirt
Awesome day today, shorts and vest, smell of cut grass and BBQ's in the air and people say British weather is terrible.
YES! A week's holiday in Northumberland/County Durham/Cullercoats has been magnificent. Spellbinding rolling fields and dozens of raptors/hawks/butterflies changing trees and everything. And a funky moon.
Total bliss. If it had been an old fashioned dreicht campathon it would've been less fun.
Better be apocalyptic misery back in Edinburgh on Monday to bolster this magical feeling.
Yup after mocking the notion of an Indian Summer, does 10 days count?!?! 😯 in another thread, we appear to be having one. Probably the warmest September I can recall, ideal biking weather wonderful.
Expecting it to be biblically wet when I go to the Lakes though 😆
Certainly today was gorgeous, WFH, aching to get out, sun shine, rebuilt R5ca teasing me.. hacked over the Downs for a quick spin, 3hrs later and getting dark I returned knackered.
Love it.
Best season IMO.

Anyone wondering why ...
I'm puzzled, the whole summer and autumn so far has been nice here in Kent.
Are my expectations lower I wonder?
