Strava as promised. Extraordinarily wet roads, fortunately very little motor traffic which made navigating around the sheets of water safer. At about 10 miles there was a 'thunk, thunk' sound coming from every revolution of my front wheel. It was caused by a twig attached to the tyre sidewall hitting a mudguard stay. Reasoning that the twig was attached by a thorn through the tyre I opted to leave it until reaching home and put up with the noisy accompaniment. Just as well I did because the twig was attached to a half inch thorn and the tyre deflated immediately I removed it

1st January Happy New Year-Bucklow Hill, Tabley, Arley, High Legh. 51.4km
