It’s been a thin month for cycling so far, at least in the sense that I’d only been out on a bike five times as of this morning. Rain was due from 3pm-ish according to the forecast and I went out at 1:40pm, in the hope of doing 20 or so. I had a feeling that the rain might start later than that, but I took the Boardman anyway to be on the safe side.
Warm, sunny and humid again. I did a Twycrosser with the quick route home down the A444 and along Gibbet Lane, 21.43 miles. Blue skies gave way to dark and foreboding clouds at about 3pm and it did rain for a couple of minutes not long after, but only lightly. Then the sun came out again.
However 40 minutes after I got back it was chucking it down, so I timed that quite nicely. Nice run out.
Passed a lad walking an old-fashioned steel frame racing bike along Gibbet Lane and slowed down to see if he needed any help. He’d had a puncture. I had a pump and a spare inner tube on me, but he assured me that help was on its way in the form of his dad.
