Was planning on getting out for a couple of hours yesterday, and weather forecast looked pretty good except for a stiff breeze. Got myself ready and then watched the heavens open. Sat down with a coffee and then another, followed by a beer and it became obvious that I needed an ark not a bike.
Today again no rain forecast but was cooler, so got myself ready and set off. Within 300 yards the bike was on it's way back so that my wardrobe could be amended. I had a jersey on with a wind stopper and mits. I came back out with a transfer jacket over the jersey and full gloves this time. It was freezing so off came the shorts and on went the tights. It is August isn't it?
Within 5 mile the heavens opened forcing me to take shelter under some trees, this happened at least 4 times and I had to amend my route so that I could head off home for a towel down and bath for the bike which looked like I had just completed a cross comp.
Anyone else having to go out over dressed this Summer?
