Stared hissing down at noon on Friday and has not yet relented. Really high winds rolling in off the mountains too.

Had sleet/light snow yesterday & sleet/hail early this morning.

Had 2 nice rides planned this weekend but both now consigned to the scrap heap of what might have been.

Getting fed up now myself @SpokeyDokey We seem to be going between very wet and windy and very cold and icy, neither of which fills me with enthusiasm to do much apart from some walking. Almost decided to forget about January I think!

Has been a wet few months here Mo - December was awful and January is much the same - like you, it is either very cold or lashing it down.

Another tootle around the 'Bredon Hillbilly' today to check that the wheels still go round. Cold, and a bit breezy but good to be out.

Just to summarise
Over 6000 feet of climbing done this week
None of the hills today absolute killers though they have there shorter steep bit. Seemed to cope with it well

Was strange to spend so much of a ride going (slowly) uphill

 

[stevey]

Me and the Mrs went out yesterday on the way back she started complaining of outer right knee pain to the point of 1 mile from home she was on the verge of tears .
So eventually got back and booked and immediately got her booked for a local bike fit. Its the first time she has any knee trouble for a few months.

Another short ride
Went to Chertsey with a few hill reps first
Weather cold but bearable
Shortage of time limited it to 15.26 miles @ 13.5 miles with 626 feet of climbing

At the start had used the tailwind to go for a Strava sement, but a PB and bettered my second overall butstill some way away from the leader

Well the plan for tomorrow is to do a 40 mile ride regardless of the weather I will stay in if I think it will be dangerous!! With crosswind etc.

Hopefully weather holds up for you, I have a days holiday Monday and have exactly the same plans!

 

[BrianEvesham]

Not much going on here in Evesham. Staring at the turbo at the moment, maybe!

 

[Leescfc79]

Think it will be turbo for me later, 8th time in 10 days, need to shift some weight .

I have a mtb ride planned for Sunday in Kent with some friends and a 40 miler in the road for Monday so hopefully weather improves.
