Hey Chris - I'm glad you got your beloved rain at last
Well the cold hit us last night, although there is no snow here. Cold and icy enough to persuade me to change from my lovely road bike and 23mm tires onto my wife's folding mountain bike. Did I say heavy? Also the riding position is not quite right yet, so the ride was hard and slow compared to my usual pace. It was really cold too (for the UK) and my gloves were not quite up to the job.
Cheers,
ED
