Thanks guys, will wait for more clement weather before taking the young 'un My weather station says this is the 18th consecutive day that it has rained on, and 25 of the 31 days in December have had rain. Nice.

It was proper wet out there even the ducks and geese on Coate Water looked pissed off....upside though apart from about 5 fishermen, no other people to be seen (I don't count the bloke in the crazy golf/pitch and putt kiosk) Even the made up paths had a few flooded bits.

Not yet, very eager to but the weather and the roads have been awful. I shall report back when I have
Ribble have a sale on and these are down to £330ish now, so have taken the plunge! Could do with a bit of dry weather, I'm running out of places to ride. South Cerney etc to the north is flooded, went down towards Aldbourne yesterday and had to turn back as there was water coming up through the drains and flooding the roads there too!

Great. Let me know how you get on. I won't be able to get out for a few weeks.
Been spending birthday money though, new cables, new saddle and new shoes (spds) for the MTB.

Twice in the last week I have been cut up by a van... I assume that cyclists are not part of the road traffic?

This is the water. And this is the well. Drink full and descend. The horse is the white of the eyes and dark within.

Went round Croft last Friday and got suitably filthy again Project Roadie is on a slow burner at the moment until I can earn some decent bonuses. If anyone's interested, the Prospect Big Bike ride is on 28th April. 24, 40 and 50k routes available. http://www.prospect-hospice.net/index.asp?m=159&s=166&ss=&c=1562&p=

3 cars overtook me whilst i was going as fast as the car infront yesterday (it was binday down croft hill so there was a big slow moving queue anyway), and then someone overtook me (despite us both moving from a standing start) on a mini roundabout.
i was, and still am, bloody fuming

Yeah, drivers are mainly twats when it comes to passing cyclists.
Planning on a 25-30 miler (XC) to Marlborough and back tomorrow morning.

Yeah, I'll log it on Strava. Basically I just follow the old railway from Chiseldon to Marlborough. It's a Sustrans route. Stop at Marlborough to fuel up before turning round and cycling back the same way. Trying to build up my distances so that from Marlborough I can head on to Avebury and then loop back up to Barbury Castle and drop down into Swindon down Ladder Lane.
