Thought that was hard going today

[barongreenback]

Got caught in a hailstorm and then thunderstorm - thought that the rain had taken something out of me and I just wasn't up to my usual pace. And then after about 20 miles (a couple of miles from home) realised that one brake pad was rubbing on my rear wheel. Arg! Good workout though

:-D
How annoying! Still at least it wasn't just your legs.

haha, that's happened to me before too. I was really lucky with the rain today. Started my ride in glorious sunshine. By the time I had a coffee break it was tipping down while I was cosy in the cafe. It stopped just as I was ready to leave and then started the minute I got in the front door. Jammy!

Went out to get my bike out, looked up, went back indoors again!

I was glad I had - I'm short of equipment for those conditions, don't have an aqualung, flippers or a wetsuit. A helmet would have been necessary - to keep the hailstones off.

Wife's away and I'm free most of next week, so hoping for good weather for a few days of it.

Weather has cleared up quickly where I am. Got rained on earlier, now there isnt a cloud in the sky.

Have to say, my cheapo Halfords lightweight jacket did me proud. The yellow looks excellent with a stripe of mud up the back! Soggy feet though.

Looking windy down this way, I'm afraid. Gusting up to 30mph most days, according to the forecast. Brakes rubbing or not, it could be hard going (at least one way.) But at least it should be mostly dry.
