    Let's talk about biking in English

    I hope that's not a problem for the forum. I was just thinking that maybe some of us would like to write about our shared interest in the language of Shakespeare. So here goes.

    Can you believe the weather we're having these days, at least in Madrid? Rain the last two days and now the forecast says a 95% chance of more tomorrow. And Friday is when I usually go for a long bike ride

    Come on! Here's your chance to practice your written English a bit. Don't be shy. I don't bite.

    I didn't go for a ride today, which means I'll definitely go tomorrow and Sunday. Well, maybe I'll go running tomorrow and riding on Sunday. Yesterday I ran into another biker from my neighborhood and he said he hadn't gone for a month. That's just crazy. You've got to stay active. Another rider friend of mine has rollers, so when it's raining he's in his living-room doing intervals. He's staying in shape in spite of this wet winter we're having.

    Well that's ironic: dry, warm, sometimes sunny in the north, and here in Madrid it's been bucketing down. I went running at around 1:00 p.m. and it started raining while I was out and hasn't really stopped. Well, I'm really glad I managed to get some exercise.

    Maybe the rain in Spain stays mainly on the plain

    So I'm getting ready to go for a ride and I'm checking the weather forecast.

    Aemet - 85% chance of rain.
    Weather Undergound - 20%
    AccuWeather - a blend of sunshine and clouds with a couple of showers.

    So who knows if I'll get wet today?

    Very English, just talking about the weather. How was the ride? Who are you, what you doing in Madrid.

    Hi Mackem. Yeah, talking about the weather, yet I'm not English. I'm from the States and I teach English in Madrid. What about you?

    So what kind of biking are you into? I mainly ride a cross country mountain bike and a road bike. Actually I hear cycling is big in Basque Country, tho it must rain a lot. But maybe not. The people above said the weather was nice there yet it was raining here. Maybe that's climate change where you get bizzaro world weather.

    I was out yesterday and the weather was fantastic - like spring! I have a language question: how do you say "rear mech hanger" in Spanish? It´s the little bit of metal that bolts onto the drop-out which the rear mech (cambio trasero) bolts onto. Mine´s bent and I need a new one but don´t know how to ask for it.

    ps I´m English but live in Spain; into XC and singletrack; ride a Yeti 575 and I´m always up for going out on the bike if anyone wants to join.
