    Yes, grr. I really wanted to go out and have a splash, but was stuck at
    home
    tending sewage instead :-(

    (I think there would have been some great floods to cycle through too)

    The A69 a bit further along from us was closed to motor traffic. Not sure
    if the floods were cyclable since it was more a case of the water flowing
    across the road rather than its depth.

    Bring back memories of cycling through Oxford floods in wellies.

    My best one was in Somerset - cycling through a flood there with water up to
    the bottom of the central bit of my drop bars. Seeing the lights glow about
    1ft underwater was quite interesting. Jolly hard work too!

    (wellies + wetsocks and cycling shorts)

    call me weird but I enjoy it. it's not cold after all.

    It's good to hear I'm not the only one. I've been commuting to work the
    last couple of days in shorts and a tshirt, with a skin-out change of
    clothes in my bag.

    Hey everyone, it's Weird Bob Watkinson!

    I know what you mean but the temperature up here isn't that warm at the
    moment and it's still raining.

    *Down* here it was very warm yesterday but it seems to have moved to the

    It's gorgeous darn sarth. That (tremendously damp) front seems to have been
    pivoting over northern England/Scotland for about two days!

    I've got to defend my lead in the club TT trophy on Thursday. Storm and
    tempest are forecast again. I had to rebuild the rear hub and the
    headset after last week's washout.

    It's the lack of rain that worries me. Here I am, in Wales, and it's dry.
    What's the weather storing up for me?

    No. I like it too. I just wish I'd remembered my overshoes and blades
    this morning. Rain in the eyes is irritating, and so is having to put on
    wet shoes at the end of the day!

    Here in Edinburgh, it was wet, but warm and I was perfectly comfortable
    in shorts and a t-shirt.

    It's all north-east of you so don't worry -- weather doesn't often go
    east-west round here.

  20. its been a bloody nightmare but also fair amusing

    try going down a cobbled hill 1 in 4 for most of the way with 2 nasty hairpins for a mile when the cobbles are slippy

    my arms were locked on the brakes all the way down it was flamin dangerous!!!!

    However once at the bottom there were some nice deep puddles to run through but the downside was having to dry the bike off at home!!!
