Puddles!

As usual I rode to work today wearing all my gear (I always wear the water-~~proof~~ resistant gear) in the morning. After work when I walk outside, there's a decent amount of rain coming down.

I get half way home, following a line of cars who all brake, so I slow down more. Then I see the wall of water getting thrown from the sides of the cars so I slow down even more. There is about a 50m gap between me and the car in front, I'm in 2nd gear and the car ahead has gone past the puddle. . . .

So I nail it, into 3rd gear then woosh!!!!! Huge splash, covered head to toe in water, huge grin on the face

I fuckin' love puddles! hahahahahaha

Don't think I'll ever fully grow up.

I saw a girl on a motorbike do that a few years back ... a fire hydrant with the lid off was in the middle of the puddle.

Growing up has it's advantages ...

I've ridden the road every day for over a year, I know where the manholes etc. are to be avoided. I wouldn't do it if I had no idea of what was under the water.

Growing up is a myth
