Fuck me that was hard work, flooding everywhere. Went out before dawn and got stuck the wrong side of the valley from work with floods blocking every route across. Found the shallowest point after a 10 mile detour. Knocking the 100km after work ride on the head, I’ll have done about 80km with a direct ride home now. Just put my sodden winter boots on with a shudder.
Yeah it’s scary in places, that’s why I ditched ride #2 today, it seemed a bit irresponsible to be riding unfamiliar roads in the dark in those conditions. 70km behind schedule now but I’d left myself 2 days spare.
