Default Sod the weather

Been out since about 6 this morning and it was empty.
Going out again and it looks dead out there.

I know its easter sunday and all but everytime abit of drizzle hit the ground everyone scatters for the nearest dry hole to hide in.

Am i the only sain person who thinks abit of rain cant hurt and makes it that little more exciting?

Obviously rictus you are exempt we all know your abit mad.

I've been out for about a half hour ride but my front tyre is a little too low in tread and isn't liking the wet...

If your anywhere near me (Gloucestershire) I'll join you

Nope, I pretty much hate every single mile in rain and I couldnt give a rats ass what anyone thinks, I'll never like riding in the rain, ever.

Don't mind it so much on my drz as it's light and recoverable, but if my sprint let's go, it's only going one way.

Was nice and quiet as we cruised south in the car after weekend with FiL. Going up early on Friday and back after an early lunch on Sunday worked out great for us. The rubbish weather kept the day-tripper numbers down too which helped. Going to plant some spuds in a bit so no time for the bike today...
