But the weatherman says this for thursday;
WAIL!
CityCyclingEdinburgh was launched on the 27th of October 2009 as "an experiment".
IT’S TRUE!
CCE is 16years old!
Well done to ALL posters
It soon became useful and entertaining. There are regular posters, people who add useful info occasionally and plenty more who drop by to watch. That's fine. If you want to add news/comments it's easy to register and become a member.
RULES No personal insults. No swearing.
Snooooooooo..bummer.
Hmmm. Wonder if it's worth putting my slightly knobblier tyres on?
And heres me thinking its time to clean the transmission...
The weatherman is a fickle beast, looks like we're all just going to be drookit now...
PY outside on Freitag anyone?
But only if we go outside at 15.00 hours.
No mention of the short sharp shower of slightly haily-feeling rain at about 14:00 today?
Wish I'd read this thread sooner. Nappies hanging out to dry got soaked. Definitely some hail/snow/sleet in the rain over here.
Yep snow was following me from Kircaldy, 14 30 ish hours. Most annoying for big lorries like me, WIND !
no way I even thought about forth brig !
Be carefull !
Hail hit here around 1540. I had dumped my wet weather kit at the house when I picked up the trailer. It was fine when I went in to the nursery and stoatin' when we came out.
I was very wet, he was a little wet as the trailer isn't really built for that level of weather.
A colleague feels my Carradice cape is taking retro too far.
Damn I wish I had taken a photo of the big rainbow over the Forth now
At least I now know why I saw a massive thunderhead this morning which was confusingly then followed by beautiful clear blue skies..
Got nailed going round Arthur's Seat this afternoon. Bythe time I got to Dalry I wis soaked!
Love the sound of sqelchy shoes as I carry my bike up the stairs.
Sounds really windy out there, not looking forward to it.
is really windy round there! Was wobbling all over the bus lane on the Calder Road and South Gyle Broadway trying to stay upright in the crosswind. For some reason I decided to take the most exposed possible route this morning. FAIL.
I don't think i pedaled a stroke this morning..... might get the bus home ;)
The Corstorphine road was pretty bad too today, kept gusting whenever you came to a cross street. And the taxis (and one bus) were all driving like [expletive deleted] today.
Hoping just to clip in and sail home tonight.
I didn't have as bad a time as I thought, it was still interesting though! Plus I saw a beautiful rainbow which made it worth it for me anyhow. I may feel differently on the way home..
The wind added three whole minutes to my ride in this morning when I was already running late, though I managed to clock in mere seconds before being officially proper late.
Yeah the rainbow going down from the innocent was amazing! it hovered just over my house when i got to porty too... almost wish i had a camera.
Was nice to be going with the wind for a change, been battling it combined with lateness for the last two days.
Too windy for me, I'd be blow clean off the Forth road bridge!
Did I see you this morning Ruggers? If not there was a chap very like you....
Hmm. Hope the projected direction is accurate so that I can be propelled home by having sleet hammered against my back.
So am I the only one who thought a bomb had just been dropped on Edinburgh just there?
Nope
Thunder??
I think the epicentre was outside my window. At first I thought it was the upstairs re-arranging the furniture but the rumbling grew quite a bit and then into claps of thunder...
I think it's either hail or hard rain outside now, and wind picked right up.
Best make sure I can select the granny gear for the morning!
That was a pretty loud bang. Heard it here in the honest toun.
