There was a break in the weather but I couldn't get out as I had 'other commitments'. Still, yes, you're right, once in a while it's fine, it's just that we've been cycling so much throughout the summer that taking any time off seems awful. I went out yesterday. Rode to the Velo Barn for coffee and cake, it was raining, but I was fine. In fact, I have a theory for cycling in the rain, although I think it only applies when the weather is fairly warm, as it was yesterday. The rule is simple: to combat the wet wear less, not more. So I just put the Lycra shorts on plus a pair of swimming trunks over the top and a fleece over a tee-shirt. Lycra seems to take rain fine and swimming trunks, well, they're used to water too, so when I got home I was fine. It was on and off rain yesterday, but it was still rain. Rode in to Westerham and then out the other side and back up the hill and home. Hopefully some 10-milers during the week and then a couple of biggys at the weekend. Hopefully see you next Sunday.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14226348842824986383noreply@blogger.com
