Rain of biblical proportions tonight for about 15 minutes, all the other cyclists were sheltering under trees and bridges, me in my ss top and shorts just got drenched and carried on. All of a sudden it stopped and apart from my feet I was bone dry by the time I got home.

Seems to me that the word "biblical" is getting a lot of use on this forum recently....

When I left work it had stopped raining, thought I was in luck!
But it soon started again.
Drenched, but came the long way on the roads, so the bike was just wet and no grit like the Busway would have been.
Got home, quick change, quick wipe down of the bike, and no water in the frame

I believe so, I've been on at South Gloucestershire Council & Sustrans concerning this section of cyclepath for years so it is nice to see something finally being down

Soaked tonight. Even an hour sheltering in the pub with a pal wasn't long enough to keep me dry. Should have stayed there longer!

Came across the aftermath of a pretty bad, two car crash in Byley. No emergency vehicles on the scene, but they were arriving (sirens in the distance) so I did not stop. Everyone was out of their vehicles, looking in shock. On reflection, I should have stopped to check on people. Hope everyone was OK.

A close shave with a Badger was the highlight of the ride in and a 17 mph head wind the Blight off the trip home.

Got to try the full on cut and thrust of busy city centre filtering this morning. Rather than my usual "sneak past the backed up traffic on the left" tactic, a variety of situations conspired to make me use the agility of the bicycle to its fullest. Threading my way through the traffic was immense fun, especially as there were two other cyclists also picking their way through the congestion (I like to think my routing was best seeing as how I was the only one who didn't have to put a foot down or use the pavement).
Left me with a grin on my face which didn't quite disappear until I got to work and realised there was no milk for my brew. There was a strange powder a colleague said would become milk once I added the boiling water, but I didn't trust them and instead headed to the local Tesco to pick up some actual liquid milk.
