More than likely I would cancel if its raining. Ive not checked the forecast yet but if its only a slight chance of a shower then I will still be there.
EDIT: doesnt look bad really... http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/5day.shtml?id=2851

I made it back to the UK - nobody tried to blow us up! 
No rectal cavity scans either - so I'm good to go! I just hope the weather holds!

Not half, well its the day today!!
Just got to clean the bike up a bit get the dust off it and I am good to go.
I feel that our little convoy will be there first because we are taking a pretty boring and direct route to the meet point, if we are making too much time I think we would be better off to go to a service station for 20 mins to kill the time rather than sitting at the pub waiting for others to arrive.

What's the weather looking like in that part of the world? It's a bit dodgy looking down here...
Soldato
I'll be there or be square.
Luke, can you email me your moby number or post it here plz?

Bah... it's peeing down with rain here 
Looks like rain for london most of the morning but it doesnt seem to progess inland which means we shouldnt get any rain today at the meet.
Here we go then, I am just about to toggle up, fill up and meet those 2 at the salt box, i soo want a go on the 14 before we get to the meet 
See y'all at midday!

It's acceptable getting wet on the bike but setting off while it's raining is just somehow wrong

Agreed

i'm about 10 miles from the meet place, its overcast but not raining - no promises it will stay like that tho!
Man of Honour
It doesn't look like it's relenting. I might have to give this a miss

Ditto
Its stopped now ... Still dont look great out there...
Im not fussed about the rain ..although as mentioned it feels wrong starting a ride in the wet .
But kinda defeats the point when you cant have fun .. Wet roads and a rideout is not fun ..
Was really looking forward to getting some action shots as well
grrrrrrrrrr
