how far have you ridden to find good weather?
 

I don't know about others, but this winter I have found myself riding all the way from home in Cambridge to Lincolnshire just to find dry roads and a bit of sun for a good ride. This is partly because I don't have access to my bike during university term time, but with the patchy weather in the UK this season, I wondered how far other forum members have ridden through the cold and rain etc for good riding conditions for a pleasure ride on their bike?

I reckon my maximum (so far) is maybe 150 miles or so before i get to the good dry roads, does that sound ridiculous to you? or maybe it pales in comparison to other people?

Either way, I thought it might be a good conversation topic :D

not sure about how far i've ridden for good weather, but i did fly to South Africa a couple of weeks ago for a nice blast in the sunshine - does that count? :wink:

Not riding but flying to Melbourne in 3 weeks for a month of coastal cruising on my dad's Honda Deuville ........does that count? :D

To be honest, in this country if I see that it's peeing down before I leave I tend to put the bike back to bed and head down the pub (apart from the other week at Box Hill which was erm.....interesting!)

About 1700 miles last summer in Europe if that helps? It was only a quick trip, 3 days i think, maybe 4.

I quite like riding in the rain, so the term good is usually anytime. Sub zero may put a stop to it.

sorry, they don't count as a bike :lol:

I rode to Croatia a few years ago. was nice & sunny there :-)

Oi!!!!!


I've rode to the South of Spain. Rain followed us all the way, but we always managed to just stay ahead of it. :thumbsup:

Coastal cruising on a Honda Dullville?
I know it's a good workhorse,but I didn't realize you could go to sea on one. :shock:


How long before Peter Henry comes on and tells us he rides no more than 30 yards to find good weather? :evil:

Marseille in August, Barcelona the year before.
