I think 9 degrees is quite cold enough for me!

[Muncher]

Have updated the forecast

[adamt]

Now it is only 3% cloud cover...that is much better than 99!

Muncher perhaps you could have it so that the newest update is at the top of your post, and you leave the old updates, so we can see how the forecast changes

Fingers crossed its a tail wind...

Assuming the map on the Bruntingthorpe website is the correct orientation, that's a 25mph headwind

Oh no!!

[Muncher]

Don't panic yet guys, the forecast is bound to change!

[GuyR]

Headwinds are bad news. You can basically knock the headwind straight off the speed you would have been achieving. ie everyone is down 25mph

I would also worry that it could generate substantial sidewinds, which are a serious problem at very high speeds.

Lets hope the speeds drop before VMax.

As long as it doesn't rain I'll be very happy. Low cloud cover: excellent!

Don't suppose there's any mileage in running the circuit "backwards"?
