Drizzle. Not like you get on a lemon cake but the stuff from the sky. Waterproofs on but although you could feel it on your face (my face!) you didn't really get that wet! Just hot!

Mud, Mud, Glorious Mud

My waterproofs, my foot guards and some of my actual clothing is now all covered in mud. With the return of inclement weather and positively dull afternoon / evenings I curtailed my route home, taking in the Acton loop. On arriving at the descendant part of the course I was greeted with makeshift farmer's sign that read - MUD ON ROAD. Great! Of course whilst riding through you don't really notice but when I got home my foot protectors were brown and there was a wide muddy stripe up my back.
It's cold again as well. I could honestly do with some rain tonight to wash things down a bit!
