Also known as not cycling but swimming…

I had to go out this morning – as GW made me.  W came along for the ride, which made three.  Never a good number.  And it was raining.  A lot.  It had been for hours…which meant that even when it wasn’t raining, it was still very wet.   Many of the roads were more like riverbeds as the water from the hills poured off towards the Levels, and I met a couple of cracking potholes,  hidden beneath the muddy torrents…  I left the two of them to carry on their merry way after half an hour or so and headed back, which at least meant I could do things my way.

The only up side of all the water was that the bike didn’t need a lot of cleaning when I got back.  I popped into see Paul this time, and picked up some new brake block things that I’m going to try fitting later.  I’ve also been meaning to mention that I have a new saddle – a Selle Italia Diva Gel Flow – and it’s fantastic!  🙂
