Well that was a shitty end to a shitty week or riding. Only did 89 miles all week and the last ride, todays, pretty much summed up my experiences.

Absolutely chucked it down, I was completely saturated by the time I got to Belmont. Heading over the moors the wind was so strong and the rain flying so hard I could barely see. I was actually worried a car might comeand not see me visibility was so badly impaired. By the time I got back down to rivington I was exhausted and cold and soaked and even though the rain had slowed to a trickle, I’d had enough and headed for home. Caned it along Chorley new road, approached the roundabout at the Reebok a bit too fast, braked too late and couldn’t stop because my rims were wet, had to make a split second decision and stood up on the pedals and nailed it out in front of a car. Oops, never mind.

Going to have to do some catching up next week. Only 89 miles in a week? I’ll be finding it hard to get out of my chair soon.
