Funny thing is that when I was Mountain biking- We rode no matter what the weather. Only exception was rain with Wind. That was the time to find something else to do.

And a word of warning on wind and rain and it was exceptional. Did a metric in rain in 2001. The wind was strong at the start and did not stop all day-the same with the rain. By the end of the ride we had horizontal rain with a headwind that was gusting to 70 mph. That was the nearest I ever got to hypothermia.

And Thunderstorms-- Went out on the Tandem on a training run at night in winter. Saw the thunderstorm coming over the hills as we got to the top. One strike very close and we realised- We were at the highest point of the hill and on the only metal conductor for miles around. After a further couple of close strikes- we were off that hill and in a local Pub. Still rode home in the rain- but after a few pints- we did not care.
