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.--

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

I sweated buckets a couple of hours ago when I went for a spin.
*Down* here it was very warm yesterday but it seems to have moved to the
cold side of mild today. It's all gone to pot!Colin

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?John

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.Jon

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