We had loads of good weather this year. I put the best part of 15,000 miles on the bike, most of it in sunshine, with dry roads. It's now winter, got to expect a little rain.

Riding here is not great overall. Nicer if you can restrict your riding to the quiet back lanes avoiding crazy horse drivers who can't control their vehicle, and the tractors muckspreading all over the tarmac for fun.

But I do like riding here sometimes and at least with the weather you appreciate the good days more.

I would expect to quickly get pissed off with having lovely quiet mountainous sunny roads to pootle around on overlooking the sea and golden sandy beaches and clear blue skys with the roads shimmering in the hot sun, if I had to dash to work in a factory 9-5 every day and not be allowed to enjoy said roads.

Buy a car if you can. Riding in the wet can be bad for your health (many years commuting year round takes its toll on the joints regarless of whether you fall off or not) and bad for your bike unless you have hours spare to clean it...

I ride all year round, still preferable to taking the tube.

Try to get your knee down in every single corner. Helps with stability n that.
