Can you imagine what it’d be like living in Calfornia

An acquaintance lives in San Diego and they hardly ever think about the weather. It rains (heavily) right on schedule one afternoon then the sun comes out and it dries up.

That’s it there is no weather as such

Nice, but just think of all the fun you’d miss not slithering around in the mud.

Good for the skills 🙂

what can you do other than don some decent kit and go out and have fun.

Just driven back over Strines in the Dark Peak – water running off the moors in torrents, lots of standing water. The peaty bits will be a bog this weekend. 🙁

We now to blame:

Plus me, as I bought some new RR tyres last week! Great timing 🙁

I am going out tonight come what may – nice ride, a bit of wendy (Chelski) and the light entertainment that is Shuralan. Log fire sounds like a good idea. Now where is the cold weather kit…..?

Chuffin warm when the sun does come out though!

It’s not easing up yet. I may have to resort to going swimming tonight instead

If I look out the windows on the north side of the building the chances of a dry ride home looking slim, if I look south its going to be a lovely sunny ride.

Arranged to go on a 2 hour ride on Sunday morning – indoors! Hooray for velodromes!

Riding 5-8 felt like July, Then torrential rain on way home bought me back to November – I have never seen such appaling road conditions. Really scary driving!

Well in the end is wasn’t that wet on our evening ride, sure we all got a bit splattered but it was sunny & I got the wind direction right with the route I chose 🙂 and apart from the heaters not working outside at our pub stop the pint was great.

Though my mate who remembered he had left his CamelBak at the pub 5 minutes after we set off is a plonker 😉

Put the heating back on this morning.

This evening I took mini-aracer to the FoD for a bike race and we got a lovely warm(ish) sunny evening for it. Quite pleasant to sit around outside and watch kids riding their bikes around. We then sat by the river to eat our sausage and chips supper. I don’t know what you’re all complaining about.
