Depends exactly on HOW bad its going to be... a few light showers and maybe some drizzle then I'll still commit. But if I'm going to get wet then I'll probably take a rain check as well - I have no waterproof trousers or boots :P

Still not sure either way for me atm

I'll keep an on the forecast and this thread to see what people say tomorrow... though I suspect that it may a case of abandoning the event :(

I was looking forward to it as well :(

Well, I made it home! But I ache... between the ridiculous gusts of wind and my extremely dodgy steering bearings I got a very thorough upper body workout keeping the bike in a straight line :lol

For those that bailed, it actually didn't rain at all whilst in Brighton and it was nice, sunny and ward at the Ace. Got a bit wet on the M25 heading home between the M23 and M4 but after that it was fine - just very overcast so I dried out nicely by the time I got in (not that I got soaked through to start with) :)

Alas, my final ride out as a LoFo has been completed ^^

Ah, that's why you got off. I had to stop myself at the South Mimms Services

Where the hell did the other three get to? Once we got out of Brighton you were the only one I could see...

I went a scenic route home.  A great 78 mile twisy combo :)
Rain chucked down around Guildford.  That helped me get the tail out ;)
