If it's wet or raining I won'tt be going. I went last time in the wet and it was fun but iot was my first time.

I'll know more on Friday when I've checkled the detailed weather forcast.

Yep, this hose pipe ban has stopped me riding as I can't clean my bike afterwards.

It depends on the place I'm riding, Woburn all day in the wet, aston no, Forest of Dean iturns into the same conditions as Epping and that's not fun.

It's definantly fun iin thw wet but for me I've been before so I want to go in the dry so I can go mad and also wearing glasses they steam up in the rain and wet and it's very hard for me to ride.
