Back from Hamburg, minus 15 deg C and a foot of snow, we need to count ourselves lucky!
I'm out at the weekend, Saturday and Sunday. Could be raining on Saturday, so we'll see how that looks closer to the time, Sunday should be OK.
No major plans for the ride, usual stuff, couple of hours on Saturday, 3 hours-ish on Sunday.

Now that does sound cold!!! Turbo sessions galour in Germany then, I quite like the sound of that! All being well I will be out on Sunday and its my birthday, anyone for a Cake and a coffee straight after we finish??? A grand old age of 42. But I'm convinced life really does start at 40 Good luck with your first TT Andy, hope it goes well for you. Sure to be raining down there as well you know. Sparkling new club kit ordered and In stock I might add. Hopefully try and pick up tomorrow from Dave

I can do either Saturday or Sunday, but not both. Maybe Sunday is best if Justin is out and cakes are in the offing too. Just looked at forecast and I reckon it cold rain both days.
I'm just back from -15 and snow in Helsinki. Impressive to see so many commuting by bike on lanes full of ice.

I moved the posts about tomorrow to a new thread under 'training' for Sunday Mornings - Southern Division.
There will obviously be more Sunday training rides as well as Saturday so it gives us somewhere to arrange them.

Weather isn't looking good for tomorrow morning. As I am racing on Sunday I was only planning an easy hour-ish, but there could be lying snow or it could still be snowing.
Lets see what the forecast looks like later.

Forecast still looking pretty ropey for tomorrow.
I might do an easy turbo session tomorrow or a run and ride Sunday. Fancy hooking up Justin? We could either stay local or ride over to Stourport and put some harder efforts in before and after the club run. There might even be a fast group from Stourport. I'm easy.

Hi guys, The forecast is snow all night now!!! I came home late from Gloucester this evening at 1930, there was loads of water on the road then along with a nice 20mph Easterly I think it's a turbo day tomorrow chaps, Andy let's see how the weather forecast looks tomorrow for Sunday and we can plan from there. Good luck for Sunday Paul, hope it goes well if you race. Wrap up mate, forecast is a windchill of -8. Getting tired of this weather now, got to start warming up soon. Not sure when the last time was I rode in a reasonable Southerly breeze??? Wattbike turned up today so got to put it together and give it a spin tomorrow ;D Good roller session tonight, check it out on Strava 'I got me a Wattbike and I ain't afraid to use it'!!!

Justin - you heard of recovery? ;D I'll be out Sunday whatever the weather barring ice. My wife's at her sister's with kids so I will be making most of a guilt free ride.
Paul - good luck on Sunday. Remember, shorts in cold weather shows you mean business and fazes others. I used to ride with Red Hot Kramer embrocation which stung like hell, especially if you rubber your eyes.

Organiser is carrying out a course inspection tomorrow morning, I can't see the race going ahead as the Coventry area is meant to get snow all day tomorrow.
It won't be clear by 0900 on Sunday.
I'll keep you informed, in any event I think it'll be turbo tomorrow, then maybe out on Sunday, weather dependant.

But i was good and did not touched a drop of the good stuff all week Andy;) Yep recovery, it's coming back to me now. Had Monday night off this week? That counts as recovery doesn't it? I got to perfect my Pedal Technique, efficient smooth pedal tech. Watt bike together and ready to go. It's like a 'Iron Horse', weighs in at 60kg. Going to be great for practicing those sprints

Weather for the weekend looks ok, a little chilly starting out but rising to 5 degrees by midday. We could be living the dream this weekend ;D but it hopefully will be dry and no snow. Who's out for the SD 'Southern Division'.
