Spent all day feeling miserable. By 16:00 my Mrs had had enough and basically told me to go out on my bike and stop grumbling, or she was going to divorce me!
The wind and rain was pretty extreme, especially at the top of the Trundle. The mud was deep and the chalk was lethally slippery, but blimey it was exhilarating to finally get out on the bike!
Gloves aren’t waterproof and this combined with the wind chill has made my hands and fingers go a strange colour
My wife hasn’t divorced me yet
