Just my luck the clouds opened as I headed up the road.

However, nothing leaked, and it wasn't cold. So I'm hapy enough in fact I was tempted to keep on riding when I got to my motorway exit.

And traffic was light and sensible and well behaved. That's one advantage of really bad weather, the idiots tend to stay home

Winter's here alright.

My ride to work in the rain this morning was pretty good.... except I need to get proper riding boots real soon as my leather boots got soaked and my socks all wet.

Just got back having waited around at uni for a break in the weather.
Was (briefly) tempted to take the cage today but glad I didn't - parking is impossible. Anyway I dodged the showers successfully. I've finally put away my summer gloves, though...

I enjoyed 6 trips and each time it decided to rain bad - my electrics held up and I enjoyed it only a couple of dork cagers but to be quiet honest I enjoyed the rain rides today.

Winter's here alright.Mine was too this morning! As I headed off to work slightly late :mad: I got caught in a heavy downpour and then I remembered that I'd left something at home that I 'needed'! By the time I returned home and then got to work I had dried out...phew.

Got wet on the way home 2nite also, but I'll dry out overnight. :cold:

All this heavy rain means I can't go to the office on me push bike, so I haven't got any proper cardio since last week. Guess I'll have to spend longer time in the gym then...

Meanwhile, buses aren't so bad.

??? Buses ??? Wot about the Suzukery fing ?

And if you want cardio, just ride faster. Through the city streets. With nice slippery paint and manhole covers. That'll get your heart going faster than any pushbike.
