Just thought I'd mention that Sunday looks to be a fine dry / sunny day. I've arranged to ride out with my friends - take the opportunity while you can!

Good chance to test my new Yoshi end can - sounds pretty loud! Not sure if there's any extra horses, anybody know what the gain is s'posed to be...?

Are you nuts? (or perhaps further south? hehe )

I'm forecast to see rain and a high of 6 degrees which will feel like 0 - 2 degrees in the wind. Think I'll stay home.

Nope, it really does look nice here, well, better than last Sunday anyway when I got soaked carrying my precious cargo down from Inverary. drink hehe

I'm working anyway so it'll be nice to cross the Kingston bridge without thinking I'm gonna get blown under a bus.

Is that for Norfolk or the country as a whole?

Bo**ocks, please stay dry - I want to RIDE!

To be fair, that was for Suffolk but it appears that none of the forecasts are being consistent.

As long as your drink didn't get soaked

I find Metcheck is more accurate than the BBC, weatherwise.

Time
Morning Temp 5 °c Feels Like 0 °c Rain 4.3 mm
Afternoon Temp 6 °c Feels Like 1 °c Rain 0 mm
Evening Temp 6 °c Feels like 1 °c Rain 0.1 mm

I'm still staying in!

Mildish dry day in North Yorks! Plenty of bikes out and me wobbling about after losing all riding ability after 2 weeks off

Still good fun though

I had an entertaining day of riding. Only problem was that I switched to my summer gloves. Realised it's still not quite warm enough for those

You went riding in Jan without one!!??

Went out for 50miles or so yesterday... Enjoyed it though the roads were damp in places and obviously the tyres were cold...
