The bike paths are mine at the moment. It seems the only to ride in this weather are those clad in extreme wet weather gear or those stranded with no other option. With temperatures above ten degrees no matter what time of day I'm happy to ride in a layer of wool and let the water wet me until I can be wet no more. As I always say, 'it's not fire falling from the sky!' Let the fair-weather riders suffer in their cars.

No headphones today, just the sound of my tyres cutting through the puddles and the breeze in my.....helmet. Ridin' in the rain is one of the most therapeutic past times I know of.
