Looked at the weather radar 10am - hadn't reached us yet so dived out on bike. Got about 8 miles in at the top of a big hill (Chunal) and it started. Took the descent easy, then decided Chinley Head would be 'orrible (big wind, rain ergh), so shortened the route a little - still had a few 15% plus climbs to tackle, lots of tiny back roads and sharp descents. 2800 ft of climbing in 28 miles and very soggy feet. Only one idiot in a van in Glossop.
Bike now washed (thank goodness I took the training bike out) and waiting to dry before I re-oil the chain.
Just helped my daughter finish her homework - colour ink has run out so had to use the laser. Off out to get a joint for the oven, then I think I'll chill this afternoon - wife in bed not well, and I'll have a few glasses of vino, and maybe surf here !
