I left the office on Tuesday, no sign of rain, when I came out from the changing room it was raining so hard that most sensible people would take cover. But I had to pedal through the rain to collect my son from school. Despite what I thought was good quality water proofing I still was soaking wet within 5 minutes or so..so basically I couldn't get more wet and thought never mind. It continued for the entire 25 minute ride. Any ride after that one will be better!

I know that stop- lots of cyclist collisions there but great path and ride in too it sounds! Was just working on my best route from Sharrow to Kimberworth before all this C19 madness started- hope to have perfected it whilst off so I’ve got a range of routes in my head and can gain your communing benefits. Great stuff!

Dragging myself to ride in this wet weather was certainly worth it, my body and ego are convincing me otherwise, until they have the taste of the ride
