Mrs has got friends over on Saturday and staying over so I've got permission for 2 whole days of cycling, 2 fugging days, even with the option of camping out if I want. For the last few days it's said mostly dry with possible light rain for my intended destinations but now they've all turned to double raindrop & possible thunder & lightening. Whereas today & tomorrow (when I can't cycle) it's sunny & warm!
Baaaahhhh!

Just keep you're plans flexible, its showers not one big blanket across the country, choose your destination on sat am based on that morning's forecast.

The forecast is for heavy showers Saturday? Mooch around at home with - arrrrrrrrrgghhhhh - the mrs friends (no offence) or go for a bike ride and risk getting a bit wet?

Hmmmm tough decision

taking your comments about the west literally it does appear that the forecast is slightly better in the east. East of sheffield and to the coast appears dry on saturday afternoon. Where's good for mtbing round there? gainsborough, doncaster, lincoln, skegness etc. Hull? it's not an area I'm familiar with.

Just wear a coat! It'll still be warm (probably).

Pick a place where the BBC are forecasting it will be pouring down and I think you'll be pretty safe.

When did rain become a barrier to riding, you live in GB you must be used to it. Just plan a route with pubs to "shelter" in
