Wet and wild this morning, legs are feeling it after the footie last night (maybe I need to give that up) :laugh:

Were you cycling... :whistle:

There was a group of 4 cyclists at the bridge this morning (it was shut to cyclists), not sure what they were doing standing there except getting more wet.
 
Back in Sconny Botland; looking out the window and wondering why it was dark at 4pm. :cry:
That aside, where's this cold and wet weather you've all been talking about?

Well done BBC weather forecast, yet again :rolleyes:. This morning they were saying it was to be dry all day until early evening at least, so with the lack of wind I decided it was an ideal opportunity to get my December 100km ride sorted. I left home and went up over the Brisbane Glen to KIlmacolm, Houston, Bishopton, over the Erskine Bridge to Clydebank. All was going well apart from a thorn going through a Marathon+ just outside Kilmacolm. Stopped for lunch at Clydebank, then came out to a few spits of rain. Within 10 minutes it was on for the day type rain, and getting quite heavy. Over the river on the wee ferry at Yoker then, and beat a hasty retreat to Paisley for a train home :sad:. 35 miles done, so not even close. Bolloxy bliddy weather :cursing:. @Pat "5mph" , please don't make things worse by telling me about your rain free commutes today! :laugh:

I was off today :tongue: but if you'd listened to Smooth radio this morning, as becoming your age :whistle: you would have heard that the morning was to be dry (it was) early afternoon wet. In fact it started raining at lunchtime, as you've found out :laugh:
Smooth Radio? I'll need to Google that; must be for old wrinklies ;). Used to be called Saga FM, I wonder why :whistle:. I probably would listen to it, if only we could get reception in this rain soaked, wind lashed, backwater in which I live. It's Radio 1 or Radio 2 here on DAB; nothing else. Have to use Sky to get any decent radio stations to drown out the sound of rain trying to come through the windows!
