Unlucky fenjer.

The weather is saying rain so far, but hopefully it'll just be showers rather than downpours, so you may well be in the better position come Sunday avo.

BBC are still saying heavy rain! Doesn't look good.

Do ride outs usually still happen when its really wet? I haven't actually ridden my SV in the rain yet and a little apprehensive. Was reading an account of a rideout that took place iirc around wales a few weeks ago and ended with 2 bikes wrecked and 1 rider in hospital! Kinda puts the fear into you

This isn't looking good. Even more annoying as MKB made us move the date with her eyelash batting and has now baled on us!!

I think we'll take a view on it tomorrow and see who's still fancying it and who's not. If interest wanes we can postpone until we get a dry weekend and then just throw it together short notice.

Am up for going unless its torrential rain. Would like to see how the new Pirelli Angel STs perform in the wet. Although i am not sure of the route so hopefully someone who knows will be going!
