That right there sums up uk winter riding. It actually sums up uk year round riding too.

Surprised to see sunshine in that shot, can't remember too much of that in 2012.

Sunn-shine...? What is this crazy natural phenomenon you speak of?

randybadger (Jan 5, 2013 at 1:26)

I was lucky enough to work around the country, I work outside and somehow managed to dodge most of this year's rain. Not sure how that happened.

3rd wettest year on record over here. Wettest summer (ha!) on record. I'd rather it be cold and dry!

It'd be far more fun if it was below 0 DegC when all the rain fell. Id rather have snow than rain!

And riding in a tee! I'm going out in thermals and waterproofs!

Get well soon fella, read yesterday that you snapped your ankle in Spain. Hope you aren't out too long, need you back in the woods repping DMRbikes again.

Not in England. Mostly rain and when it does snow an inch or two the whole country grinds to a halt.
