I couldn't develop the motivation to leave the house while it was chucking it down, so I waited for the torrential rain to stop (1pm) then headed out at 1.30.
I didn't want to ride in the dark so promised myself I'd be home by 4, so only did 40 miles, but it was utterly bonkers.
Water
(the worst of that bit was round the corner, but it wasn't really safe to take a photo).
Water
And more water
The worst bit was a few miles from home, when the water came up to my knees. There were also cars coming the other way (this was a fairly busy B road) creating quite big waves. You'll understand why I didn't get a photo of this bit...
This was my first 'proper' (if short) ride on the Pearson, so something of a baptism. Festive 500 wise, the Garmin only recorded some of it, so does that still count..?
