A simple ride was all it set out to be
Damp out on the roads tonight, but bugger it, i'll take the good bike and its not too cold tonight, i'll dress lightly.
Nooooo....it turned to steady rain . Ah well, i'll survive. No mudguards so i got wetter and wetter, but what the hell, its only water
Nooooo....i'm within a mile of home...my front Cateye halogen lamp clattered onto a section of dual carriageway. I stopped in the vain hope it may have survived. Even if it did, the next three cars that ran over it 'probably' saw it off. Three sets of crunching plastic i didnt even bother to find it and rode off
Ooooer..i'm now within 1/4 mile of home, comes up to a r/about, brakes lightly...and skids like buggery on the soaking wet oily road . Might as well have been on a skating rink.
Yeukkk...my missus laughed like a donkey as i got undressed.
Socks so wet i couldnt get them off. Underpants that were all saggy with the water in them they looked two sizes too big.
Lovely ride...i still enjoyed 16 miles worth.
Sometimes, it doesnt matter what gets thrown at you (bottles excluded )
