Yuck
A lovely gusty crosswind/headwind from the SW coupled with driving rain.
Just what I need when going shopping. Oh yes, *thankyou* to the SUV driver who overtook me while I was riding through a big puddle. Still, at least my trousers are mostly dry now. Regards, -david, not looking forward to the return trip when laden |

We used to play a game on mountain bikes called "puddle jumping". The object is to pretend to ride round a puddle but then do a sideways hop into it, soaking your riding partner (it also soaks the perpetrator, but that's life). Obviously you don't do every puddle to maintain the element of surprise :-) |

Obviously you don't do every puddle to maintain the element of surprise :-) Was that a crude sideways jump with the bike held on by clipless pedals, or the proper BMX article that works on flats? I can't do those. Landing arse-oveer-tip in the puddle would create a bigger splash, of course. -- Sue ];( |

I can't do those. I can't do either kind very convincingly and somewhat in awe of those who can - but I can't think of any excuse for riding on flats. That's for sissies who are scared they're going to fall off ;-} -- (Simon Brooke) http://www.jasmine.org.uk/~simon/ The trouble with Simon is that he only opens his mouth to change feet. ;; of me, by a 'friend' |

Especially as they use those flats with grubscrews all round for a better grip on flesh. -- Sue ];( |
