The Great British Summer

You have to just love the Great British summer, went out this afternoon for a ride, just after a sharp shower had finished, roads wet but bright sunshine, nice I thought. A couple of miles in & a few rain drops hit, nothing to worry about as the sun was still shining. 12 miles in & I'm cycling through the 'Mother of all showers' wandering what the hell I'm doing. 17 miles in & the rain has stopped & the sun has come out again, glorious, now I know why I'm out cycling - I just love it.

Total ride was 32 miles at an average of 17 mph - the route part of the northern section of the 'Great Big Bike Ride' event on September 5th, so doubled as a bit of reconnaissance.
