Thought you had those super-duper waterproof socks!

had a nice ride thanks - just the bike tho' - it's chucking it down again so might just be forced to stay in and watch the telly and eat fish'n'chips'n'peas - purely in the interests of packing carbs of course

I know - I have, but it was dry when we set off and they are usually in my bag, just in case...apart from today!

Had a ride in the rain to the minor injury clinic where I was seen straight away and gave me these patches for my elbows as they aren't healing up. Marvelous people. Very little grip out there on the roads .

According to the Met Office, we have gusts of wind at 41mph. Blimmin sounds like it too. It isn't raining at the moment, and I'm very tempted just to do a little ride to get me back in the swing of things.......

I did 90 km this morning in glorious sunny conditions with the temp not getting much above around 25 degs. Perfect in other words. I now feel very content.
