Got up for work at 4am and it was raining. Bugger. Hate riding to work in the rain. Oh well, I thought, better get on with it.

I would have done better walking. Must have been about a 200mph crosswind and rain like you wouldn't believe. I was doing 70k and hanging off the bike just to keep it going in a striaght line. It was a very long 14k to work and by the time I got there I was drenched.

Fun commuting on a bike isn't it?

Serves you right for getting up at such an ungodly hour of the day cowboyz! :whistle:

Besides, wet & windy weather riding makes a man out of a mouse!

I know. I tried going for that job that starts at 11am and finishes by lunch but they were all taken. Bugger really.

After the past few days I feeling more like a drowned rat rather than a man or mouse.
