Currently hacking it down, should be a fun ride home

Sorry to make matters worse folks, but just the other day I read a report stating that they anticipate one of the wettest year's ever in the U:K: for 2008! Jeez you have my sympathies.

fliipin dry spell didnt last long....downpour just in time for school pickup

I haven't seen a dry road since November, except one day between xmas and new year, despite a dry weekend, the roads still never dried up. Kept my bike on the road thinking that we might get a few dry clear days, now pi$$ed off and thinking that when my bike tax runs out at the end of November I'm gonna SORN it and move to "theft from garage only" insurance for 4 months.

Yep, read that too.

This year is meant to be miles worse than last.

oh cheers as if it rained enough last summer....good job i got new bike gear then innit

We are on flood watch as usual, but I am not afraid. Poor sv is taking a hammering though

Hasn't seemed to stop raining here for weeks.

We live pretty high up, no chance of getting flooded out, but the River Avon looks ready to go. If it does, I won't be able to get to work, which would be really, really, really sad


Seriously, though, I feel very sorry for those people who were flooded last year, and now face the same threat again.

It was a 50-50 day today for me. Soaked to the bone on the ride in to leeds this morn, dry-ish for the ride home. Can't really complain tho, I could take the cage or pushbike/train, but i still go for the sv as it's so easy and quick to get anywhere.
