Good day. It's just started to rain and the forecast is not exactly positive! 80-90% chance of rain till 3.00pm. Today's choice is to head out for a solo ride which means hard climbing or a walk with the local U3A group. I'll probably go walking as I can keep dry walking whereas on the bike it's a guaranteed three hours of being wet. I gave my walking boots their bi-monthly deep clean yesterday, hopefully the Nikwax has done its job on the Goretex tongues which had started to let a little water in - when fully submerged in a puddle I found last time out!!!!! I get a lot of pleasure from cleaning my boots, just like my bikes. Mrs P says I'm very sad.......................and then requests I clean hers!
Speaking of walking boots. I need to invest in a pair of quality summer boots. My winter boots, Meindl, are great but too hot in summer plus we're going hiking in California next autumn so I need something much lighter. I have very broad feet and need good ankle support. I already wear Meindl so obviously happy to pay for quality. Any suggestions?
BIG night ahead! The mighty Rovers are at West Brom. #1 son and I are going to The Hawthorns. This is a huge game for Rovers, we badly need to bounce back after two defeats, WBA have the Brucie Bounce factor with their new manager. I am nervous. Long time since we've been away, April 2018 to Doncaster, shows you how we are starting to feel. It peed with rain that day as well and we won..........I'm looking for every positive!!
