Raintown
I've said before that if you ride a bike in Scotland you will not be unfamiliar with rain. But things are particularly grim at the moment.
Weather warnings
As I write it's grey, windy and very wet. Strom Dennis is upon us (with Strom Ciara having just departed). The BBC weather forecast website predicts that it will rain continuously for the next two weeks! (at least) We live some way up a hill so flooding isn't a fear.
Last year we had a surprisingly warm & sunny February but I'm afraid that isn't going to be repeated. No "Tales from the Road" for a while.
It's hard to photograph wind & rain but I'm sure you get the idea.
It's been no better here in not so sunny Northern Ireland over the last few weeks. While the commute continues, (it's amazing how all those huge SUVs cannot drive through anything resembling a puddle!), bike riding for pleasure is postponed for the present.
Good luck, and keep your fingers crossed for better weather.
