Listened to a mate last friday and instead of nipping out for a wee hours ride somewhere localish like I suggested (cos I had seen the weather was going to change) we were out all evening away north and got an absolute doing from the weather. Torrential rain, forked lightning, floods, road closures, tourists doing 25mph, aquaplaning. Fkn 'mare. Took my boots a week to dry out. My riding jeans doubled in weight. Good test for a new "casual" w/proof jacket...which certainly isn't.

Always good to be in company in situ's like that. Somebody else as poorly prepared and getting the same doing cheers you right up.
