Irn-Bru? Scottish Blethering Thread

[Brandane]

Blowing a gale here, the rain was sore on my face on the commute home
Still, it's quite mild for this time of year imo.
@Brandane I seem not to get wet anymore, even with lashing rain: must be my lucky waterproof trousers and my new Night Vision jacket

You're going to need them this coming week then. 4 DAYS of high winds (50+ mph) and rain; then the winds drop to a mere 40mph for as far as the forecast goes, up to next Friday.

I'll be riding to work no matter what, that's what heavy tanks are for
But the family ride I was supposed to lead tomorrow has been canceled, some kids will be disappointed

Our Belles ride for tomorrow has been postponed to Sunday ... tomorrow is only good for testing waterproofs and whether you can keep upright on a bike in a gale

Well, see that I'm not working anymore tomorrow I might do some long overdue bike fettling, maybe ride to the shops in the afternoon.
Usually the storms abate later in the day

Hard core, these CC Belles - not like us wimpy blokes ...

It might be nicer in Kirkwall.

No worries: only in deepest Ayrshire, home of @Brandane, the storm will last. For the rest of us it will be over by tomorrow afternoon

You might have a wee window on Sunday; but the rest of the week isn't much better than here!

Yay

Kirkwall, Monday. Just a fresh breeze in the middle of the day; then SUNSHINE on Tuesday!

Ah good. I shall take my hat. It looks like hat weather.

I'm sure it could cope with the weight of cyclists - wonderful opportunity to promote commuting by bike.

According to Twitter......,T/S say they can't open it to cyclists due to concerns about sudden failure. Asked if shipping was being stopped from passing underneath. they failed to respond.
