I had a look at that on strava and it left me wondering... Average speed was something like 20 mph over an 11 or was it. 13 hour period with a mac speed of 91kph so 57mph... Need to look more closely at the stats but it rang bells with me...

That said it does seem that it may be genuine www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-29521369

Anyone been able to get into the raintoday.Co.UK site today? Was wanting to see what to expect for the way home but can't get onto it

It's not one I have used, but just tried it and it's not loading for me either.

I haven't had a wet commute in the last 6 months. Lady luck is saving up something special for me I'm sure

That should have finished this years Eddy Merckx
@SatNavSaysStraightOn it was a breezy

You could have had half the rain I had last night and would have still been as wet.

Breezy was not the word I was thinking of! It normally takes me. 97-100 mins to cycle over to my parents the 22 miles... Today it took. 127 mins! I don't think I have been that slow since I first started cycling to my parents over 2 years ago!

I think my plan of 333 miles for the last 3 months is a bit optimistic. My wife and new born baby have just been discharged from hospital after 10 days and just been told that my priority is to look after them before cycling. Guess she has a point...

Decided to run in semi-single speed mode today. 39t-15t down to 39t-12t. Painful but quite enjoyable. Was a fair bit quicker too.

Missed the rain again

 

[Nigelnaturist]

Well last night it rained at a max 3mm/h and I got 2.3mm, so I guess it must have rained for about 45 mins. Which is about right.

There was a sunny spell this morning , which , if I wasn't doing some admin. could have had a ride.
Will try to get out tomorrow morning
Driving down to New Forest Saturday and will pre-register to get off earlier on Sun

Well I lost over 4mph on this http://www.strava.com/activities/205206844/segments/4832959785 from my best time in July

Well and truly hooked, it was dull and windy and cool outside, it was warm and cosy inside so why did I have to get kitted up and ride for 30 minutes?

because....
rather than evening walks in the dark, I have suggested to my OH on days where neither one of us has cycled, that we go out for a bike ride in the dark instead... he is up for it - just a shame that one or other of us usually cycles every day.. I think this Saturday could be the next day, then maybe next Thursday unless he cycles to work (I know I am not that day - at least not yet...)
