I would just like to remind everyone that this weekend would have been the WRT had it not been moved to the start of the month .... it has rained every day since Wednesday, it's raining lots at the moment and is set to continue for most of the weekend.

RESULT!

Mrs FF said the same thing earlier today.
How lucky?

How lucky?

It wasn't luck ... 'twas planned

That's two good uns this year Stu, nice and frosty in January and nice and dry for the WRT

any chance you can rearrange the date of BB200 then Stu

Weather's always been good so far ... reckon it'll stay where it is

So it will probably be wet next WRT seeings as the first one I am likely to be able to participate in!

Having been inspired by the WRT Lite (1st ever Bikepacking trip) we took advantage of a sudden 24 hour weather window & carried out a Derbyshire Ride Thing short rde - just got back with tired legs, dry kit & a memories of a fab camp spot last night

Just think - if it'd been the WRT this weekend, we may have been put off for life & would not have had the chance to fit in an extra short rde

So it's all your fault then .... excellent. My parents have had three wet days in Cornwall in a campervan with their grandchildren and Ive been wondering who to blame for their misery.

More important than the rain Stu, the midges are out properly now and its gonna be a good year for them i reckon. Im getting bitten just riding around the local forests never mind the depths of wales

I think it's still a bit cold for them here. I was out last night and so were the midges but they left me alone ... no biting at all.
