So, calf taken turn for the worst, but fingers crossed with a few days not drivin* I can again by the weekend. Or try and convince Mrs B she needs to finally drive my car...
I asked that over a month ago.........I'm now going up to Jockland with SWMBO and brother and sister in law to watch the athletics this weekend. Soz
Oh shit, just read this. Disc fusion I presume. Hope it all recovers well, now totally understand why you're driving. Looking at the weather forecast I'm considering mode of transport and 'wheather' to go at all.
Here is my plan for Sunday 12 August. First ride up to Benson, Oxfordshire arriving at the Waterfront Cafe approx 9.30 for a bite of breakfast, and meet @Kirky there. Want to join us? Then head North to Brackley, Northants (about 35 miles from Benson depending on route). Park in the northern part of the High Street somewhere near KEEP BIKING bike shop and the SKINS cafe. Walk a few hundred yards down to the Festival. Enter, walk around, meet people, look at bikes, eat stuff, enjoy. Repeat.
Good point. The Met. Office weather forecasts for tomorrow (Sunday) are predicting prolonged heavy rain in Brackley, Benson, and London. I think I'll review the weather at 7am and decide whether this trip is a goer or whether to abort.
May not be Nuda weather.... Agreed. I just checked 3 weather sites and all showing continuous rain. If I go, it may be in the car 07:00 S 15 mph to 31 mph 15°C 0.4 mm 96 % 1011 mb 10:00 S 16 mph to 28 mph 17°C 0.3 mm 99 % 1010 mb 13:00 S 14 mph to 22 mph 18°C 0.6 mm 100 % 1009 mb 16:00 S 13 mph to 21 mph 17°C 0.5 mm 100 % 1008 mb
A positive turnaround on the forecast so am going to give it a go 10:00 WSW 12 mph to 17 mph 20°C 0.1 mm 61 % 1022 mb 13:00 WSW 12 mph to 22 mph 20°C 0 mm 92 % 1022 mb 16:00 W 14 mph to 21 mph 22°C 0 mm 72 % 1022 mb 19:00 W 12 mph to 20 mph 21°C 0 mm 32 % 1021 mb
