At that speed, you needed tyres with more tread to clear the water. 😉

You were lucky you didn't spanner yourself! Although I'm questioning the coincidence of having someone there filming.

Is someone aiming for £250 from Harry Hill to fund a new pair of Rapha shorts by any chance?

Algae can be surprisingly slippery. I remember my bro hitting a patch where water had been flowing over the road, outside Bristol. Suprisingly sideways. More surprising was the tyre popping off the rim when we got back to Bristol centre. Went off like a gunshot!

It was a hot day, that just looks like some pre-planned cooling down.
