Broadspeed?

I was sat outside watching the Mens Wet Short Contest (aka 35km walk) but decamped indoors as the wind has really picked up and is blowing all sorts of tree fuzz all over my laptop and into my tea.
Nothing that special - just this homebrew of a Capri bodyshell, BMW suspension and a dirty great V8

I'm not sure if this should go in to the 'news too exciting for the Mundane News' thread or not, but we had a light rain shower in this corner of Suffolk about an hour and a half ago. Not enough to moisten the ground, let alone provide proper watering for the garden, but rain nonetheless.

Calling it quits on the photoshopping for today. Am starting to go a bit cross-eyed.

Found in the Yorkshire hills ...
We've been blessed with some more rain:rain:

Someone up in Heaven must have left the bath running.

Tell that to son no. 2 on his ride today. He did Wessenden in the dry, then Holme Moss in the wet where there were fell runners getting very wet, followed by Wessenden from the other side in heavy rain. In a skinsuit, no base layer or rain jacket. His text to me read "Heading home after Wessenden. Very wet. Very sketchy."

Only after he'd got home did he admit that the descent of Holme Moss in the rain meant his carbon brakes didn't slow him at 45+mph on the corners that can't be taken over 40mph, so he needed to "air brake". And then he did Wessenden where he couldn't slow at the bottom :ohmy: . I've seen the Strava details and concluded he's nuts.

At least he didn't tell his mum :laugh:

I don't know whether to :ohmy: or :laugh:

Either way, :notworthy:
