That's commitment! I did reflect that if the water had gone over my wellies I'd have been in trouble - sucked under! But I wasn't committed to getting wet at all, I had waited till the rain had passed before venturing out, and arrived dry and victorious!
I looked at hom and just thought that it must be bloody hard to pedal through that volume!
Yes, blimey. I took a low gear and a steady speed in my case. I did have to play "chicken" with a 4x4 at one point, he entered the other end of the flood and in spite of spotting me when he was only half-way up his wheels in water, he carried on until of course he wouldn't have been able to stop without flooding his car. I, naturally, was hugging the crown of the (narrow) road where the water was shallowest, and got to within inches of his grille before turning to go round him. I didn't look at his face, I was too involved in looking down at the water and ahead at his looming w*nk-wagon bonnet, so I don't know what he was thinking. I knew what I was thinking.
... Drove into work on Friday, it took just under 20 min door to do for my 12 mile commute, that's a normal sort of time. About 1 hour coming back but we did stop for shopping, which again is a typical commute time for stopping off at the shops with my OH barely able to walk.
I came in on the winter bike today - busway was clear, there had been some flooding on the curve, but it's cleared up. Busway surprisingly clean too!
briloiant thanks Stan, saw Jess this moning too, I think he waited a bit but then set off.
