The call warning us of the bad weather to come came though at lunchtime by which time it was too late. It then rained from very heavy to totally drenching for the next 3 hours. We rode home through flash floods that came up above our pedals and through blinding downpours, thunder and lightning. My waterproof jacket worked well at first until the extraordinary rain worked its way downwards from my collar and upwards from my shorts. Sounds terrible but it wasn't - it made us glad to be alive and oh so looking forward to that warm shower at the end of our cycling day. Did any of our 5 Tuesday Ride Groups avoid the rain and if so how?
