• Thought I'd aim for a gap in the rain this morning. Lasted about two minutes before it started, grr.

    The only bike I have mudguards which fit is my MASH (those rubbish velcro race blade things) which is also brakeless. Skidz for days.

    Bumped into a guy riding a nicely specc'd out carbon Canyon with a set of carbon Mavic wheels. It didn't half make some awful sounds braking in the rain. We had a joke about it not being a day for the summer bike while I overtook him.

    Dried out by mid-morning, so can't complain too much.
