Alex, lets just postpone the rideout. I don't know anyone who prefers to ride in duff weather, puts a damper on it .
Also some bods can't make it.
Going out though on crappy days is a good idea though cos it does improve your road craft, just might be better with a smaller group initially if you have little experience if the cold and wet stuff.
Anyone up for this next week? It would be a shame not to do this route.
