MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
It's chucking it down again. I really cannot take another summer like the last two, I honestly don't think I will be riding at the end of the year if we have another one.
Please someone tell me we are actually going to get a summer????
What rain?
We are going to get a summer*
*We may not, don't blame me if I am wrong, but just trying to make you feel positive.
Two weeks ago my local trails had dried out sufficiently to make them pleasant to ride. I will be avoiding for the next few weeks again now.
According to BBC, MRsflash, it should have stopped by 1pm and here in Leeds you and I should have 4 days of pretty much unrelieved sun!
Met Office says we are going to have a very hot summer similar to 2003, they could be MP's talking rubbish like that.
sunny here
It's been raining here in Auckland, almost solidly now for three weeks and i'm getting very fed up with it. I grant you it's not our spring/summer time but the winter weather has come early this year. I feel for you
I am about to go out in the rain in Leeds - for once I have chossen function over style and I have ditched the high heels, wearing a waterproof jacket and my Merrells today.
Metro free paper was predicting a scorcher this weekend though.
it's sunny as a mother****er here. 🙂
Summer starts this weekend people.
Ooh Emma they've changed it since yesterday then, they were forecasting rain on Sunday as well.
fingers crossed.
(sorry for slight drama queen element of OP, have a bit of a hangover 😕 )
Sunny here in the saaarf.
But still miss living in Leeds.
Sunny here too (Plymouth and no i dont know IWH) MrsF 😀 to put things in perspective in Bergen were my GF lives they had 100 days solid rain last year 😀
Simonk
all of you with your sun can sod off. 😈
100 days rain? Feels like we had more!
100 days solid rain last year
hail then? 😆
Move South, it rains less and the riding is better :0)
I'm from south, no thanks 🙂
What rain? And we had the best summer that I can remember last year?!
We're getting a right mixture in Glasgow.
2 days of torrential sun followed by 2 days of blue skies and sunshine. It's been pretty dry overall so the trails are dry and even a couple of days of heavy rain doesn't turn them to total mush.
Raining here as well, rained every day this week], outlook for Saturday and Sunday looks OK

Its hardly rained since Xmas I have had the best winter and springs riding ever MTFU sorry that should be WTFU 🙂
Get a better coat! 😉
you are right, I know I should.MTFU sorry that should be WTFU
Northern Ireland is a nightmare, torrential rain for the last few days, and that's been in between normal rainfall. Sun is out now, but rain is forecast for the next few days.
It was a very good start had a great April and early May, but these last two weeks have set the trails back, we now could use a good week of no rain to recover!
I rode the chase Saturday and it was sheep dip hell!!
MTFU sorry that should be WTFU
you are right, I know I should.
I think my problem is I feel like I used up all my MTFUing last year and the year before that. I have no MTFU reserves left 🙁
Don't say this too loud but there is a large ball of fire in the sky above Leeds
No its gone now!!!!
BoardinBob - love the mistake 😀
But yeah, Glasgow seems to be going from rivers-down-the-road to sunburn territory, I quite enjoy it.
well it has at least stopped raining now.
the question is, do i take my bikes with me to glossop when i go to see my friend this weekend, on the basis of the weather? who do i believe, uk.weather.com, bbc or metoffice online?
Fine here in Bristol. Hasn't rained for ages - well since Tuesday. 8)
The Chilterns are dry - so it must be OK!!!
who do i believe, uk.weather.com, bbc or metoffice online?
the best one.
BoardinBob - love the mistake
Oops 😆
I like the idea of torrential sunshine, that's what we need here!
(raining again)
the best one.
exactly!
Looks like a nice warm BH weekend for most now, yipee
No wind damnit. I take a long weekend to go kitesurfing and what happens, the wind is forecast to drop to 5mph. Lobbocks.
nobtwidler and mrsflash - that temporary blip in the rain was clearly my fault, I went out for a coffee in my waterproof so the rain stopped. Sorry - large grey clouds looming again over Elland Road in the distance so normally rainy service shall resume shortly. Let me know when you want me to take a lunch break.
Domino you are obviously out right now as I can see blue sky - well a small patch of blue out towards Headingly. Could you maybe stand outside until say - November?
mrsflash My partner seems to have plenty of WTFU at the moment she kicked my ar*e yesterday morning around Rivington. I want to slow her down to save any further embarresment so I will find out were shes keeping it nick some and send it to you in a jiffy bag. If I cant find it I will just adjust her brakes so they bind all the time.
Scorching here in Madrid, 39C yesterday, but cunningly the local met office has ordered rain and a big drop in temperatures for the weekend.
Should be good for my BBQ and picnic I have planned 😥
That is a very kind offer pantsonfire, I will keep an eye out for the postie.
Confusingly it's now sunny and raining, so I'm guessing Domino is skulking at the doorway half in and half out.
the sun is shining in south leeds
Wish it would sort out, i'm waiting to listen to the cricket 😡
I think they might need a submarine to play cricket with the amount of rain we've had today!
Its dark and gloomy here in Bradford
but the sun is shining & it has stopped raining
exciting rain update; it held off long enough for me to walk up to maturi's to take my knives in for sharpening. hurrah.
