I am. In & around Leeds. We've had the odd shower in the past few weeks, but even the places that never (ordinarily) dry out are still, pretty much, bone dry.
Very, very lucky this year ...
Yes it's absolutely spot on in Friston forest in East Sussex today. Almost dusty, fast rolling but just enough moisture in the ground to make it grippy. Making the most of it and I hope it lasts for Afan next weekend.
Austria is pretty good at the moment as well, dry and nice autumnal colours.....
You do realise that you've jinxed it now?
Still dry and dusty around in and around the Aire Valley. Even Baildon Moor was mud free yesterday.
Was racing around Cannock Chase today. Not a puddle in sight and despite a bit of damp in the air at times it was almost dusty in places. Great riding to be fair. It did, however, honk it down all the way home to Wales 🙂
No dust in sight across the Pennines here, but trails still riding well enough for November.
Yep it's been a good year!
Not as of today down in Devon ☹️ it was still bone dry and dusty in places on Friday, but today's ride was a proper slopfest.
Gisburn was dry and puddle free last week.
Even some of the notoriously boggy bits of BW in the Dales were still dry this weekend. One or two puddles around after last night's rain but there's no slop to speak of.
Up on Cutgate yesterday and it was very dry for this time of year

Sections of my Saturday morning ride were dry and dusty, other sections were wet and rooty. The sudden transition between conditions, which altered without obvious explanation, woke me up a bit.
Rode the red route at Sherwood pines today and it was dry as a bone and awesome
20 odd miles on the Quantocks yesterday and didn't need to clean my bike. I needed to remind myself it was November.
It has rained all day today though...
Still dry in Millau south of France despite rain and snow this week . The ground was so dry it must have soaked it all up
Pembrokeshire today was not dry.
Central Scotland was still dry up to the end of October but Carron Valley was manky today after yesterdays rain. Still a good day with loads of people out on a dry sunny fresh day.
Forest of Dean is firmly heading to winter slop-fest. I gave it up as a bad job after 9 miles today as I was absolutely minging.
Pretty far from dusty in S. Wales, but the unofficial stuff is still very rideable and rode Cwmcarn Saturday morning and didn’t even need to change out of my shorts to drive home.
A lot of the usually boggy trails this time of year in the South East are still relatively dry. Some puddles about after fresh rain but still far dryer than typically would be and bone dry after a week of dry weather.
Just got back from Melbourne last week (overcast but still dusty)
..and back to Honkers were there has been no typhoon for a while.
Over the past week, besides commutes and a daring two laps of the local estate last night at sunset, I've well and truly retreated to the turbo from the dry dusty tarmac, combination of cold/wet weather; SAD mental fatigue; physical fatigue from things ramping up at work towards Xmas; lack of mudguards on the road bike (now just need an M5x25 bolt to finish fitting official v2 Cube Attain Disc mudguards as they ballsed up the bolt for the seat stay bridge add-on). I've not been up a non-virtual cat4 hill for ten days. 🙁
Must get back to the South Downs hills this week, haven't been up Old Winchester (Hayden Lane) for ages and I want to try and put a decent ~300W sub 14min effort up https://www.strava.com/segments/7723919 before the year is up!
I always think it’s the Remembrance Sunday ride that heralds the winter slop.
Not that I've ridden much lately but the slop is back central Scotland, the fireworks display cancelled in Paisley because of heavy wind/rain...it binned it down Saturday and last night as well, looks like it's going to be a very wet week too.
So yeah, dry trails...nope.
The S Cotswolds have already turned the corner, luckily not yet to the sticky slip clog the wheel stage
You do realise that you’ve jinxed it now?
This. Forecast looks like solid rain for a week now down south, so here comes the next few months of riding in the mud.
Quick night ride through the local (South Northumberland) woods last night on mostly dry trails with crispy leaf coating. Very nice... won't last for long.
It's pretty much still summer here in the East Mids
Not dry, no, but not an axle-deep slop fest yet which is nice 🙂
