Typical Bleeding British Summer Weather

Oh yes, the British Summer Weather does not fail to deliver.

After weeks of glorious sunshine and perfect two wheel'd conditions, what happens?

Yep, crap weather is on the way, rain, thunder and general rubbishness.

Just in time for my Mod2 on Monday.

If any of you are of a religious bent, do me a favour and have a word with the man upstairs (or downstairs if you are that way inclined), to see if he (or she for that matter) is willing to cut me a little slack from, say, Friday PM until Monday lunch, in order for me to have some decent practice a nicer ride and test.

Cheers Laughing

Beginning to even doubt the rains coming - the past 4-5 days its been forecasting rain 2 days ahead, and every day it shuffles forwards again.

Last night was an almighty storm here, most lightening i've ever seen - but barely a drop of rain actually fell.

At this rate it'll be tornados you want to worry about Twisted Evil

It carried on well into the night, the sky was alive with lightning, but very little rain (I was on the patio in a bar watching it)

Why's everyone acting like they never seen rain before..? This is Blighty you know. Its what we do.

Don't think we've had our fill yet though, like Matt said - mad storms last night but it only really pissed down for half an hour here. Personally never seen that much lightning though thats for sure.
