Weekender weather

AndyC_772 · 26-04-2016, 09:25 AM

We're getting close to the big day now, and the forecast is looking... iffy. Seems like the sunshine we booked might have got lost in the system somewhere

Our plan was always to do some longer distance riding this year, but I can't say I'm crazy about the idea of doing nearly 190 miles in the pouring rain and I doubt you guys are either - so I'd like to gather a few suggestions as to what we might do instead if it's chucking it down.

Fingers crossed that they can all be ignored!

could we raise enough money to get Slobs chest waxed?

Where can I deposit my contribution for this 'Waxing event' ?
I will try the jacuzzi until I look like a Shar pei.
Everything is fine by me except rain hideouts.

I'll be happy whatever the weather. If it is anything like today though, it is worth going out. We had long periods of sunshine with intermittent bursts of wet stuff falling. The wet stuff was every type though - light rain, heavy rain, sleet, snow, hail. Brrr.

It'll be lovely in Wales. During a bank holiday weekend. In April. ... Won't it?
