The wimp list ...

Beasty · 2012-09-24 18:38:49

So who cycled into work today? and will you be doing it again tomorrow... ... or do you want your name adding to the wimp list? Couldn't believe the amount of standing water on the roads of Fingal this evening. I was heading into Rush and then came across cars held up in both directions as they tried to find the shallowest…

I cycled this morning in Dublin at around 8am. I have had wetter commutes - think I missed the really heavy stuff.
Roads waterlogged with plenty of pooling - just need to take it handy!

I cycled this morning from D15 to city centre at 06:00. Rain was pretty relentless for the first half but had eased somewhat by the time I got to the office. A lot of spot flooding with water across the entire road in parts and with depths of up to 10cm it was a serious soaking. That said there was no real wind and it was very mild so quite enjoyable especially as traffic was so quiet.
