04/10/08 - The Calm Before the Storm

Tomorrow is the Autumn Epic which I am now feeling slightly panicked by having entered. As ever trying to apportion blame, I am electing Lindsay for this particular imminent catastrophe..

The Met Office is reporting a 60% risk of disruption with the following forecast:

'There is a high risk of a severe weather event affecting much of Wales, the Midlands and East Anglia on Sunday. Exceptionally heavy rain is expected, with 50 to 80 mm in places, and perhaps in excess of 100 mm locally. The heavy rain could lead to flooding in some areas and cause disruption to outdoor events and transport networks.'

At least my cycling with Ben the other day should have me acclimatised to driving rain, but if I can't make up time down hill I am going to have the broom wagon nipping at my heels the whole way round.

Am I going to be a short cut candidate..? Perhaps.
