On reflection, it wasn't such a good idea .....

..... to go for a bike ride in the torrential rain this afternoon. I thought we'd ride down to the servo to at least pump the bike tires. I mean, just how wet could we get in ten minutes? Apparently quite wet,as we discovered in those ten minutes.

Once we'd pumped up the tires, I thought we were wet enough already so why not go for the ride any way. I mean, just how much wetter could we get in the next half hour? Apparently quite a bit wetter - at one point, the water was running back out of my shoes because they had filled up. My waterproof jacket wasn't!

Still, a hot shower, change of clothes and a chicken & cheese toasted sandwich got me going again.

A few years ago, my sister and I went up to San Francisco for Chinese New Year. We'd had a beautiful day right up until we had to sit on a wall to watch the parade. Then it rained and rained and rained and rained... We were so wet that I had to take two baths that night to get the chill out of my bones. But it was a killer parade.

The bike ride was good but it was still a relief to warm up eventually.
