That’s what Met Check is saying for Oxford tomorrow …20% chance of rain :smiley:

Looks like a lovely summers day, let’s see who’s chicken.

Yes - there was a massive turnout for the Poohsticks ride in the cold and rain / spot of the old white stuff at some point. So LBers are a hardy bunch (well most of them…) Enjoy!! Get your waterproofs on!

I am not riding out tomorrow, as Emsee is coming round with some new handlebars and to supervise me fitting my fantatsic new levers from E Bay and posted from China. So the modifications are continuing. Next stop is OMC and the Daytona Monoblock Calipers, rear shocks and forks.

Okay - enjoy the Cotswolds, great roads round there. Please say hello to Jilly Cooper if you see her and Rupert Campbell Black…

Ride safe

Hi Ang, where are you getting that weather forecast from? I can’t get a similar result from Metcheck. Here’s what I see -

I think I have seen some strange results from Metcheck before, as if its showing the previous year’s weather rather than the one you expect.

The Met Office seems to be showing about the same

Accuweather seems more rain focused though -

Metcheck have changed their minds again, not that were naysayers, if the snow gets thicker well abandon the suspension set up rideout and join you.:slight_smile:
