If I was commuting to work, I would be riding. I have ridden in far worse. However, I would never take my road bike out in this on purpose.AndrewBurns wrote:Miserable morning, my trend of not riding in preference to getting fatter continues.
if you want to see the tunnel under the M2 in flood, today is your chance
BTW I checked out the other end of Cheltenham Rd for access to Kent St via the M2 overpass, and found it is perfect. There is one small set of steps with a small ramp you can use to one side. It gives direct access to the M2 overpass, so you are covered in wet weather

Would love to see a pic of you on the trainer with a video of Reg Varny's "On the buses" playing, chasing a bus on a trainerXplora wrote:Alarm went off at 515am, wandered out the front door, wet porch. Back door, could see the drops charging down, I bought a trainer to make sure I could still ride for a reason lol

Cool, yeah I took a short ride to Epping shops to buy a few groceries this afternoon and I went that way, seems good. That ramp from Cheltenham down to Castle Howard was quite slippery when wet and in my SPD shoes though (the cleats stick out a tiny bit from the bottom which ruins their traction).queequeg wrote: If I was commuting to work, I would be riding.

It's supposed to be a bit wet tomorrow morning easing in the afternoon too :S Not sure if I should attempt to get up early for a group ride or just sleep in and go for a ride by myself later...

Agreed. The best morning of the year.riles wrote:perfect morning! that is all
Pedalling up Galston Gorge with the sun coming through the trees and mist was just magic. Nippy, but beautiful.
