Must have been at least 8 years ago but Summer storms used to prevail round this part of the country. We would have a marvellous ride and just be about 5 miles from home and the rain would drop. I mean drop- no way you could ride through it but one ride and we stopped in a barn just by the side of the road. We saw the rain coming and stopped just before it hit us. 100 yards behind us was a group of Casual riders and in that 20 seconds it took them to get to us- they were saturated. Cold didn't come into it as the temp was up in the 70's but riding in wet jeans and jerseys back to the town must have been uncomfortable for them
