Ouch! Commiserations and Get Well Soon.
That was the wettest MEMWNS ride in quite a while!
Forecast was totally out of phase, 7km in the spots of rain started, but I thought given the forecast it wasn't due for another 2-3hrs, so decided to ride through it. 2km on in West Hanninfield I am in a bus shelter puting on rain jacket. By Bicknacre I am considering turning for home, at Maldon I couldn't see the road surface and by the Swan I was fully soaked through. On the positive side it was warm not cold!
Return home was breezy but dry, however it was delayed by 6 stops to reinflate the brand new rear tyre from Boreham onwards...
