You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
I put on a gilet for this morning's ride and have shut the windows in my shop.
Any other tips would be useful.
Let's look out for each other..
I've drilled loads of holes in my shirt and tie.
It's just over 16degrees out there. I have a jumper on.
I've started the official countdown. 24 hours until I abruptly switch from moaning about what a shit June we're having to how it's too hot.
Cold and wet here in North Yorkshire.
Our local outdoor pool is taking the sensible measure of closing for most of next week.
14 degrees here in cloudy Northampton.. Although the aircon in my truck is working just fine😊
Erm, it's currently 10 degrees here in the north. Heating is on.
Cold and wet here in South Wales
It's 15 degrees in the north so It's T-shirt weather while I wait for the 4 days of thunderstorms we were supposed to have.
We had the stove on yesterday evening.
My garmin recorded the temperature as single figures on last night’s ride...
It was high 20's here in France when I went out at 8am this morning. Supposed to be almost 40 this afternoon, so will be either in the pool or hiding with air con.
Kind of looking forward to returning home to a good old Scottish summer next week.
BBC, Met office and alexa all say no rain today while i'm watching it beat against my office window..
I have a jumper on.
38c here, south of France. Not easy when working in a commercial kitchen but early finish and it is swimming pool or the river to cool down.
Drove into work this morning, got out the car, put fleece on.
This is all part of Junker's revenge.
As soon as we break from the unelected imperialists in Brussels we can start having the weather we want, not what some jumped up foreigner says we have to put up with.
I got a bit giddy at the idea of warm weather arriving this week and have come to work in shorts, this is shit because..
A) It's 14c, overcast and blowy, I'm a bit cold.
B) I've got a meeting with a Solicitor at 2pm, and they're paying us, not the other way around so I have to go home lunchtime and change.
Still, tomorrow looks like a belter and I've going for a ride after work!
I'm in south Manchester. I've loosened my tie slightly.
Where is this weather ??
Cold and wet here in South Wales
but I haven't come up to ride my bike?
Was very muggy last night on my ride in the SW, lots of sweat and now my helmet pads need a wash as they stink!
Just been to the outdoor pool which is a bit busier than usual and the police are having fun ticketing the abandonned cars. It's normal August temperatures but in June. Still only 24°C inside with no air-con thanks to lots of insulation, but each hot day it'll go up a degree or two so the forecast cooling will be welcome.
now my helmet pads need a wash as they stink!
I'm not sure which bit of that impresses me most. Washing helmet pads or smelling them in the first place.
14 degrees here in cloudy Northampton.. Although the aircon in my truck is working just fine😊
A heady 16 degrees down the road in Milton Keynes. I'll remember to put my coat on when I head back to Shoe Town this evening.
Anyone have a good recipe for iced coffee?
Bright blue sky and a reported max of 36 here in Madrid today, I'm hiding inside with the air con. Although I'm going for a run later, which will be fun.
Friston Forest resembled a Jungle this morning, hot, wet and greasy. No fun on a bicycle.
My garmin recorded the temperature as single figures on last night’s ride…
Thick mist and single digit temperatures on my ride too. OK lower down but up on the hills I was very glad of my lights and hi vis gilet. Could really have done with the full wind jacket though.
Hmmm only 34 C here. Sposed to be 37 or 38 (after they scaled back the forecast of 41C to something a little more respectable).
Isn't it Glastonbury this weekend? Surely that means rain and a mud fest, while we melt in the sun?
I might have to put a T-shirt on, cooling off a bit here in the Algarve...
52 in the sun at 8:30 this morning in Black Forest, Germany. Currently at my desk with a balmy 30 degrees all windows open..
I just sat outside eating my lunch. Dunno temperature, but I fell asleep. Hope I don't do that riding home.
Anyone have a good recipe for iced coffee?
I just make a latte and then shake over ice in a cocktail shaker.
Commando mode activated for work the last 3 days. Off tomorrow so bike ride and bbq 😊
I've got my jumper on. Its cold
Once it gets hot I’ll let you know.
Shock rebuild.
X2.
Ouch.
Hot in our attic room in Oswestry. Always is in the summer. Cold in wimter. I work nights so it's vile sleeping up there in the day. Bit the bullet and bought an air conditioner a few days ago. Awesome bit of kit.
A pleasant 24 yesterday in south Lanarkshire however heading to London with the family on Saturday for a few days and it looks a bit too hot....
40 degrees in the shade yesterday here in Germany. Our kids, who have already broken up for the summer holidays, spent the whole day and evening in the pool.
Been warm here the last 3 days. Makes a change for us.......
Monday was grim !
It hit 42 at my parents yesterday.
They are plottin
Saturday is apparently the hot one for us in deepest Derbyshire. Must refrain from sitting in the garden all afternoon supping ale as up early to race Sunday morning....
My hankie is ready knotted.
29C right now, which is nothing unusual for summer here so i'm carrying on as normal 😉
38 degrees in Austria yesterday on one of my bike tours.
Luckily we found a sexy Austrian to cool things down in the Wachau valley.
least there's no beer bottle shortage this year, cos people weren't taking them back quick enough to get the deposits back.
but then I think there was a footy world cup or something at the same time as a heatwave around this time last year
supermarket was pretty well stocked last night, until I came along, so made sure they had some spare shelf space for more beer.
only 37C the liars... was sposed to be 41. "cooler" today.
Just touched 30C at 10.00am in Canazei. Going to be a warm day for those practicing.
Reached 51 in the sun in the Black Forest yesterday (42 in the van). Still 30 degrees in the van at 11 last night.Early morning bike rides and in the pool all day is the answer.
A nice sunny morning in Glasgow. A very pleasant 21C. But I'm heading to Aberdeen so I've packed my thermals just in case
That 37 above is Odenwald (so just a smidge further north than the Black Forest)
Sunday's meant to be another warm one too.
Saw a Youtube last night of a Canazei EWS course stage, and it looked like there were still straggling leftover patches of snow. Not sure when it was actually filmed though, even if it was only posted in the last day or so.
Looks so strange seeing the place you ski every winter in its summer clothing.
Still only 12 degrees in deepest Derbyshire, sun is on its way though...
It was 22 degrees when i left my house last night, 2 hours later as I was heading to Taxal Edge it was 9 degrees, the fog was rolling in and I had to make a dash back to the lowlands (where it was a nice summers evening)
Yeah loving the "Summer" here on the Kent coast:
Glorious here today so the dog and I have been for a short walk.
Drinking tea and tying my hair back.
French plait or ponytail?
Choices, choices....🙂
It's been mid 20s here in Berkshire most of the week the trouble is that the preceding weeks rain has made it quite humid with bumper crops of midges in certain places...
we're forecast 30*C for Saturday at the minute.
personally I like hot weather...
#prayforgingers
46 in the car earlier!
Sod's law, I slept in late until a silly ~0900 this morning, after my early 0630 start at work yesterday... So no early morning ride before mad dogs and Englishmen hours!
Briefly popped out at lunch, it's certainly warm in SO18, but the stiff north easterly breeze was really helping to take the edge off things.
Lovely through-flow of air from the front to the back with all the flat windows open, as the front faces east and my man cave is at the back.
However, if I was to pop out to around Warnford and Butser Hill, that lovely breeze will be a headwind pretty much the whole way out there and up many of the cat4 hills.
... Trying to decide whether to pop out now for ~2 hours, before the local rush hour traffic hits near Moorgreen hospital, or try and pop out when it's cooler after dinner. But then I really want to try and do an early morning ~4 hour ride tomorrow...
Seems it’s too hot now for Southern Trains to run on time...
Just about reached 17c this week on the North Norfolk Coast! Stiff northerly breeze and cloudy skies has made it feel more like autumn than June. Forecast tomorrow is cloudy & a max of 15c. Oh! what joy.
I am ignoring any person or organisation that claims to be able to predict or forecast weather.
I had a ride round loch leven earlier, was a lovely 21degrees.
I could live with 3 months of this every year tbh.
Sat in the garden drinking an ice cold birra straight from the man cave beer pump, whilst playing ball with the dog. He has no self control and will "go" till he literally flops on the grass. Have him well trained though as he returns the ball directly to the tennis racket every time which then requires zero effort from me.
Official (proper I might add) garden thermometer reads 21c in the shade.
Beautiful evening, too warm for pedals!
My mate is coping by spending this evening at a Fields of the Nephilim gig.
That’s the ideal way to spend a hot summers night.... in a room full of sweaty goths
Every day for the past seven days, the weather here has been mostly cool, cloudy and windy, while the forecast for the day after tomorrow has been Sunny & 25°C. Can I have a refund?
Just about surviving here in the lakes

A pretty solid 21c at Innerleithen today. *Almost* too hot for that long climb, but actually pretty nice overall.
Went to Roslin Glen on the way home with my way blow up dinghy and ended up swimming in a nice deep pool which was pretty refreshing.
Temps going to increase a couple of degrees over next few days so might go out in the blow up boat a bit more.
I've a 5-day weekend starting today.
Prefect timing... 😎
Lovely weather on Longdendale Trail/Northern Horse Route. Required a pint at the end, purely for cooling down purposes.
Very windy with a beastly Easterly here on the Sarf Downs, never got above 22C today so resorted to building bike in the conservatory to show solidarity (I did have the vents open, I'm not fully mad).
I commuted without helmet or gloves 🙂
Perchy , what's the line up? Doing much past 1991?
Aberdeen. Freezing as*. Shirt, jumper and jacket to work today. Long sleeve shirt when out for a run tonight.
*I live in Perth, WA. 40 degrees plus is pretty standard for a week or two a year. We're geared up for it though. Winter temps = Aberdeen summer temps, but more sun / less rain.
Just been out for a bike ride about the same temp as the Algarve was last week...
Just glad the hot day has coincided with a saturday, would not fancy my commute into london in this heat.
31 here in Kent, just had a 5 mile pootle on the bike with my mother, along the river. It's cooler there than in the back garden!
Back down to 25 tomorrow so will go out for a proper ride.
THunder storm just rolled in, phew. Though I just finished drying out the garage after teh last one
Felt too hot to ride. Normally takes me a few days to acclimatise to anything over 25. These sorts of temperatures always aggravate my asthma a bit too.
Luckily I had a new bike to build up/wreck...
Been riding at Woburn cheeky today. It was literally hot, in the literal sense 😳
