Soaked!

Blimey did you see the rain last night? Did you get caught in it on your commute?

Three of us bike busers did, and you might expect it to have been miserable, which it was, but it was also oddly fun!

For a start it was warm, so that helped, but there's something great about getting caught in a summer storm knowing that you're almost home and you can shower and dry out. There's also the shared experience of being there with friends - you gotta laugh, and with friends around you it suddenly seems funny, whereas on your own it's just a head down slog.

So if you saw us yesterday and were thinking 'Poor blighters' - in some ways we were, but it's an experience I wouldn't swap - I just wouldn't want it to happen every week!

BTW, in terms of other experiences not to swap, check out the Hammster's Blog about the BigKCyclosportive last weekend:
