Re: The All New Megathread
I have just got the GSX out of the garage. My riding friend is busy so it will be a solo ride today. Our skies are not quite so clear as yours on the west side, sun is a bit hazy (but I'll take it...

Re: The All New Megathread
I spoke too soon in my other post about how good the weather was; we now have light rain. Still, now that the wind has swung away from the east we are are at least seeing glimpses of the sun (and...

Rode 135 miles on the GSX accompanying my friend Alan on a BSA Goldstar 650. Rode to where the Ouse and the Trent meet to form the Humber at Alkborough (North Lincs) for coffee and cake. Then across...

Morning. Weeding/digging up yet more Spanish bluebells. I was thinking of going for a ride but rain radar is showing intermittent light drizzle. I'll know better when I get outside and start...

Oh dear. :(
Excuse #1: I have given up trying to connect my phone to my laptop since it insists there aren't any pix on it most of the time.
Send them directly from my phone? I did start to read...

Re: The All New Megathread
It was sunny here earlier but is clouding over now (11am). I noticed that we have been upgraded (?) from yellow wind warning to amber.
It's not so much the wind damage that concerns me...

Re: The All New Megathread
Had an 80 mile ride today. Sunny but cold and the roads were incredibly wet in places (yet dry in others). What was disturbing was the amount of standing water in most fields.
They have...

Re: The All New Megathread
What temperature are you comfortable sitting around in? 66°F/19°C is about my limit, but I'm old and skinny. :)
No frost here either but I've had my heating on for 3 or 4 weeks.

Always seems weird in such a small country as ours to have such weather variation - I've been out for a ride in the sunshine (partly cloudy) and I have laundry out on the line.
I can see the rain on...

No. Here on the Humber estuary we are still in the humid southern airflow, it was 16°C at 8am this morning. I see the first Atlantic front coming on the rain radar though which will drop the temps.

We had quite thick fog until about noon, then the Sun made an appearance although the coast road was very hazy in places. Once you turned inland you got the Sun back. I can still hear the ship's...
