yeah fairly wet this morning, even though Id checked the forecast and thought Id collected enough rain gear together the previous night, still wasted another 10mins hunting for various bits which made me late starting off.
and not sure if it was the variable direction of the gusts of wind, the rain, the fact it was also alot colder than anticipated, but my legs werent happy this morning for sure with the ride and it was a bit of a struggle. not helped I guess because close passes feel that much closer as you get showered in spray too, and your dodging puddles and flooded bits of roads, so I was even later.
at least we have a drying room at work so kit was dry for the home leg, though Id improvised trying to dry my gloves using the heat from a laptop charger.
of course it was alot warmer anyway in the evening, though notably nights are pulling in quickly, but inevitably overdressed for the headwind home leg, even without the boil in a bag rain jacket, at least the legs had woken up abit by then.
. Back on Monday for more fun and frolics.
