View Full Version : Donny weather - same as today???

Whilst not exactly scientific (when is it anyway???) - the BBC's weather website is showing this;

http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/5day.shtml?id=1632

therefore, the weather in Derby today is the same as it will be on Saturday - maybe???

So - is anyone near Derby today who can report what the weather's doing today?

I've just gotta decide whether to fit the Diablos or the Diablos !!!;)

tyres?

not to bothered now, cos AK has scrubbed in the front one, on his tri-colour - and a dear mate had the new rear last night - and gave that a session of 60 road miles = 4 track laps.

Both new ones now 'ready to go':D

Old ones on standby:o

Cant wait to watch this - but only after the qualifying has been & gorn.

I use metcheck too - says it's supposed to be raining here but it's lovely today :puzzled:
I've noticed the rain for sat moving later and later in the day so hopefully all will be well for those of us who are not ducks!

You're a canny git and no mistake - I hope your choice is a wise one!!!

Rattler-San say - "if you chose not to decide, you still have made a choice" or was that Geddy Lee???;)

Would anyone bet I'm not gonna make the whole season with the same tyres? So be slow, you'll save money :lol:

The sun has been cracking the flags all day in chesterfield, (about ten miles north of derby). I can hear thunder crashes on the radio now though and its cooled down a lot in the past hour and the winds getting up a bit.

The weather forcast is changing all the time. At present it will be overcast and about 18c, but with a westerly wind will feel more like 17c:)

Mate was there yesterday on a trackday ready for the New Era races this weekend dry, but dusty at coppice and he binned it there, just a little warning for you DD nutters.

Still think a diablo is the way to go though :D
