Had to bail out.
Rode to work at 1400 today with a stonking great back wind from the
west. Looking at xcweather, the wind is going to be head wind, gusting up to 66 mph for the trip home at 2200, so I'm going to have to leave the bike here and get a lift back. It is barely possible to walk into it let alone ride. It's too dangerous. Simon M |

It is barely possible to walk into it let alone ride. It's too dangerous. It was ludicrous here too (Lincolnshire). I went out just before lunchtime and got maybe a mile and half before a solid gust from the side put me on the wrong side of the road and wobbling all over the shop. Luckily nothing was coming. After that little eye opener I went straight back home and went shopping instead. Regards, -david |

After that little eye opener I went straight back home and went shopping instead. Today's 3-up time trial (CC breckland) was cancelled. A decision was taken quite late last night betweent he event organiser and the District secretary. This meant Vernon & I spending an age on the phone ringing the riders and club secretaries to get the word out. We also turned up at the HQ this morning just-in-case we missed anyone. As it is,only three turned up - two who didn't pick up the messages left on their answerphones and one who didn't have a mobile and didn't pick up the message left on his answerphone. All were okay about it.The wind, whilst not as bad as yesterday has picked up this morning to give some nasty gusts, so I think the correct decision was taken. I'm now off back to bed ;-) Cheers, helen s --This is an invalid email address to avoid spam-- to get correct one remove dependency on fame & fortune h*$el*$$e**nd***$o$ts***i*$*$m**m$$o*n**s@$*$a$$o* *l.c**$*$om$$ |
