Is it raining FIRE?

That’s biblical.

Holy water?

I’m setting off now. From the south side of mancunia. Some of you had better still be bloody coming!!

I’m in the pub!

“The wetter the better”

Just as well!

Great fun.

Dont know whats wrong with you. Its only rain and it was fresh and quite nice out tonight.

Well from what we heard on the metal roof..

Bregante, I’ve got your spex mate.

Cheers! No idea how they ended up with you!

Like hora said, it’s only water.

But good grief there was a hell of a lot of it! 😯

You left them out outside on the table, spotted them as we loaded the car up.

I don’t know if I’ll be along or not next week yet, email me to arrange. Email in profile.

Ha

Just emailed you pretty much exactly that!

Did you do Mordor in this tonight you mad bastards?!!! 😯

We could hear the rain hammering on the roof, while we were riding in warm dryness. And the horizontal rain on the way home definitely fitted the description of ‘biblical’. You lunatics!!!

The pub floor 🙂

Minty – how’s ya man’s hand?

No Mordor tonight binners, do you think we’re stupid or something!
that strava

And without doubt that was the wettest, windiest 8 miles I’ve ever ridden. Mintimperials mate had a mishap on the steep cobbled section of the downhill to Tunshill which resembled a whitewater rapids course. All it was missing was a few canoeists.

It’s going to be a while until the trails dry out again 🙄

Quality pic GFS

There is a similar, probably by now much larger puddle on my garage floor where I stripped off before legging it into the house nekkid! 😛

Chapeau to you brave, mad courageous fools for riding last night 😀

Rik here (Minty’s mate). Feeling a bit bruised this morning! Good ride last night, I need to remember a change of clothes next time so I can spend longer in the pub…!

Karin was held up in traffic, they had to stay open for about half an hour after you guys left just So I could stand around drinking a half, and making more of a mess on the floor.

I tried to wash the grit out of my togs before slinging them in the washing machine; then drain the water out of the bath slowly past a toothpick so I don’t clog the drain.

Result:

:Plenty of soil to scoop up and add to the potted plants in the house, heh.

Hope the thumb is OK Rick!

I stayed at home.

It was still raining this morning.

I wished I could stay at home after my ride to work.

Sounded like all hell was breaking loose last night out on the hill so well done for getting out. The weather’s getting beyond a joke now though.

That was an exciting ride, cheers guys. 🙂

I measured more than half a pint of muddy water out of my socks when I got home. They kept my feet dry for a solid 40 minutes before giving up, though, not bad. Still, I think I’m going to sack off tonight’s planned ride and spend some quality time with the sofa instead.

edit: double post

Fair play to anyone that went out in that last night!

How many were involved?

4 suckers fearless souls.

Can somebody with Russ’ number text him and tell him to check his emails? Ta.

I’ve responded Sam. Sorry for the delay. It’s been a rather hectic day.

Glad you all survived!
