It's really not looking good, they've gone from cloudy, sunny rain to RAIN  :'(


Do we just call it a day tonight and plan for another date?

Harry.......i think you should call this one.....fair play to you for organising something that coulda been good but you cant defy the good old uk weather mate...not your fault......but as organiszer i reckon you should call it coz there'll always be a couple hero's that continue on and then end up on their arse  :lol .




Any old fool can get cold and wet on a bike.

I think you're right Noggy, BLOODY WEATHER....... so..... who's up for May???????  :D


I don't mind a bit of wet weather riding, I've gone through 3 winters on the bike but it was done to get to work and wasn't.  Tomorrow is about having fun (and eating breakfast).


Let's postpone.  I'll text those that I have numbers for and PM everyone too.....

Good call I reckon Mr Hornby, I.ve got work tonight anyway. I might be tempted to get down and dirty on my new toy. :D
We'll see how it goes.

Great work with the organisation Harry and a shame the weather had to spoil it... I was looking forward to getting back out with the group and the bike is all nice and shiny after its ACF treatment this morning

Saffron Walden weather map is still showing the same. Awful about 10:00 am then easing up. I presume this is off then. Will check thread first thing in the morning in case anybody changes their mind.

Very windy with heavy downpours here though the sun has been making an appearance in between - it's taunting me to come out and play but I know as soon as I step outside it will throw it down again :P
