Sodden Britain in the grips of wettest winter in 130 years
The period between July and December last year is the wettest on record since 1890
Not been exactly dry since that was written in Jan, has it.
Wet winters aren’t new. But, this one is a particularly wet one. More winters like this expected though. Just be prepared.
Bike has just had new bearings, pads, chain, cassette, chainring. Still running 10 spd to make the wet winter destruction/replacement of drivetrains more affordable.
Big proper front mudguards and trousers will get you through to the dry trails of… er… May?
