Wilier in for a service today. Avoided the drizzle this morning but I'm probably going to get wet this evening.

I voted HTFU as that's what I'll be doing.

HTFU, Sturdy girl!

Rain is cool. If you're in lycra, what difference does it make if yuo get wet slowly or quickly?

My commute is an hour, so I can always get dry quickly afterwards.

Me? Well, yes, I'm on the fixed today. Mudguards? Well, yes, I suppose you could say that. Full length Bluemels colour-coded celluloid jobbies, if that matters.

Make a cloak from a black bin bag (normally found in the office kitchen under the sink), and cycle back home like a bad fancy dress costume, with your bin bag cloak stopping your bum and back getting wet/dirty (You have to sit on the bag to stop it billowing behind you).

According to the bastard weatherman, it was supposed to be dry, warm and sunny here too, until about 4 pm. It's been flinging it down since 07:45

Metcheck says wet all day. Probably linked to the fact that I planned to help at a working party to paint picnic benches, plant trees and do other stuffs that is of an outside nature.

Likewise Sunday is a social ride - and that looks grim.

Yebbut, she'd struggle to grow the beard in time, even if she does have sandals handy...

Well, they drain effectively...

But don't try for the beard.

Well, if it was me, I would repair to the nearest hostelry and await an improvement in the weather. Start the weekend early!

You're riding home, surely you wouldn't care about the rain? Assuming you have enough kit with you to make sure you stay warm and dry, that is.

Fashion miniskirt* from carrier bag, invert for logo avoidance, tuck in to whatever you were going to sport on the run home anyway.

*"Greyhound" length and the back and as high as you like at the front.
