I wish it would stop raining

I have been a little naughty in the last week or so - not getting out on the bike as much as I would like...I blame the rain of course (!).

Last Tuesday I planned to get out for my evening ride around town - and with the prospect of Fish and Chips for supper I felt I needed to clock up a few miles (I wonder how many miles = fish and chips?).  I often think about the bike ride I am going to do in the morning and plan ahead, it helps with the motivation to get out of the door in the blustery wind and cold of the winter.  However on this particular morning the heavens opened, this is a picture out of my office window:

I was really annoyed, I had missed my Sunday ride owing to the weather (well acturally I could have gone out but I was suffering slightly from the previous evening's Halloween party)...

On the way home the sun tried it's hardest to break through the clouds, and as I reached my village the rain finally stopped...I knew I could get my ride in and enjoy my fish and chips guilt free!

 

Nom nom nom!
