Yes I've been watching the forecast too. Definitely a day for waterproofs. Looks worse towards the end of the day.

We may miss that as I need to be back in Welshpool by around 4.30 at the latest.

Adam, are you going for the same arrangement as the previous rideout?

I'm working Friday, so an early start Saturday is more likely.
I'm having to play it by ear at the moment. The weather forecast isn't inspiring me after having been utterly drenched riding through a huge thunder, lightning and hail storm and floods on Monday. Kit is still recovering.


Also broke my phone the other day and trying to get it fixed to be able to navigate and be in communication.


I'll confirm what I'm up to nearer the time.

The forecast for tomorrow seems to be getting worse according to the BBC weather app.

Just looking at the Met Office site now and it's giving rain mixed with periods of sun all day tomorrow. Not looking exactly wonderful.

I think I'm going to have to drop out for various reasons, the weather looking fairly terrible being one of them. I got soaked a few times this week already and don't relish the idea of doing it again.
That coupled with family being away all week so it's the first chance I'll get time with them tomorrow and work has been very tiring, shouldering two people's workload all week on my own after staff dropped out at the last minute.
I also really need to get the Street Triple back together too.

No problem Adam. I suspect if the weather does what the forecast predicts, the ride is likely to be either shortish or postponed until we get some sunshine.

I was thinking the same thing. I've just looked at the rain radar for tomorrow on the met office app and there's plenty of rain coming tomorrow. I'm going to drop out too. Sorry Gary.

No problem John, it's the sensible thing to do. Six hours of riding in the rain doesn't sound terribly appealing to me!
We'll try and reschedule it.
