Yesterday was a wet day. I wanted to get out on the bike in the morning because I knew I would be busy that night. The weather was bi-polar, as usual. It shined, and rained, and shined some more...
I think I managed to catch the worst of the rain and gusting wind in the middle of my ride. The rain, when it really got going, soaked me from head to toe in a matter of seconds. I felt the water seeping through to my back, my legs, my scalp. Chilling my muscles in the wind. The gusts brought me to a near stand-still when they came head-on, and when they were side-on I could see the rain cutting through the air at a shallow angle, as if I were in a cartoon.
Rain rain go away
Let the sun come out to play
Warm my tired legs
The weather was more agreeable on Tuesday. Here's a photo I snapped on the
back roads near Ipsden and Checkendon:
A lone flower jostles in the breeze amongst endless green fields.
