First ride in the rain

[smutchin]

Done what? Stuffed your shoes or checked out page 3?

Oh, I've checked out Page 3 - my day can't start until I've read the news in briefs. Apparently, Lacey, 19, from Bedford, is disappointed that so many British schoolchildren are still failing to make the grade at maths and struggling to grasp concepts like pi, the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. I have to say I agree with her.

Actually, here's a funny thing - I've met Lacey irl. A few times, in fact. Strangely, she's never seemed that interested in maths. If I didn't know the Sun was a fine, upstanding bastion of journalistic integrity, I might suspect they've mixed up her words with someone else's.

I would've cycled today if I didn't lift my bike onto the rear wheel to get it in the garage - forgot about the new Crud Road Racers - snap!

Looking out my office window, cyclescheme should allow for pedaloes.

Soaked already 3 times today. Just the commute home left. On the way back just from off site it was so heavy my feet were filled with water.
Hate that feeling.

I had a nice ride back from work in the rain this afternoon. It was great.

concentrate on warm, forget wet.

Home and well and truly soaked. Bike away and been towelled off. My turn next for a shower and brew. Treacherous on Mottram Moor if you know it. Everyone seems to have their lights on too, vehicles I mean. Never saw another cyclist. I would say stay dry but you won't! So stay visible and safe. Enjoy the Summer! Gez

Do you guys all stuff newspaper into your shoes to dry them? Almost crammed an entire edition of yesterday's Sun into mine that I found in the work bin. The left shoe was the lucky one- it got the page 3 boobs.

Strappy sandals - dry in a jiffy and feet are waterproof!
