Squeak!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got about 2 miles outside Faversham this morning when I started to hear a piercing squeak form the bike. I thought it was coming from the front wheel but wasn't entirely sure.I got off the bike, checked the wheel was running free of the brakes, loosened and retightened the QR , everything looked fine. I got back on, squeaking started again. Got off, checked the rear wheel, it looked fine. Tried coasting, and still got the squeak so I ruled out the chainset/BB. Tried pushing the bike, no squeak.

I squeaked back into Faversham alarming all vehicles I passed and caught the train. I jumped on the bike at canterbury and the squeak had completely gone.

Now it was wet this morning so I'm guessing that may have been a factor. Any ideas? Other than the wheels I wondered about the elastomers in the fork?
