15 mins. into the ride, the heavens went dark, the skies opened up and it pelted down with a freezing mixture of rain and sleet



I came home after gritting my teeth and carrying on for my full 20 miles through the rivers that had appeared in the road ... a mixture of water, ploughed field muck, dirt and spray from the cars. No mudguards, slick tyres, inadequate protection from the rain .... no wipers on my road goggles


Wont lie ... At some points, I wished I had gone shooting instead
