Well it rained upwards and downwards and sidewards and backwards……
And the wind blew upwards and downwards and sidewards and backwards……
Yet onwards I rode. It’s one of the rare times I’ve had a sense of humour faliure on the bike. It was dark, even though it was daylight, debris strewn roads, rivers gushing down the sides.
Still there was 57km to do and I wasn’t letting the soggy clouds keep me from a cloth badge!
I can award today with grimmest ride of the day, of the year but hey, better to ride than stare out at it.
505km done.
Waterrat rides 
Top ride Mrs C well done.
