One time I was just about to leave work and the heavens opened, it was the end of July, so i thought I would be a clever sod and just wear my bib shorts for the ride home to avoid getting my trousers and jacket soaked. It was one of those proper summer storms, hollywood style tropical rain was falling from the skies.
Just as I left my office the sun disappeared (it was mid July and I was looking forwards to getting soaked in warm summer rain). Suddenly it started hailing, the size of m&ms. Those little fuckers stung each time they hit, and I got hit a lot!
Hail when only bibshorts with a fraction of a mm of lycra was not a good ride home.
