1. British Summer time Sucks - no need to elaborate i think we are all going through the same thing!
2. Waterproof jackets - what is the point? don't get me wrong my waterproof jacket is waterproof, so much in that it keeps the rain of my skin - but that doesn't stop me getting wet (boil in the bag)
3 Punctures are a pain in the ****. i got my first visit from the puncture fairy today on my way home from work - i am sure she was waiting for the cloud burst to start before her visit.
4. Walking in SPD-SL's is no fun - After the visit from the fairy - i was about 10 minutes from home - no point fixing the puncture on the roadside so i walked - result is sore calves, a visit to wiggle for some new cleats (although i may well use this as an excuse to upgrade my pedals as well) and a lovely blister where my shoe rubbed.
5. People think i am weirdo - on said walk i got some very funny looks along the lines of "why is that guy in full Lycra and cycling shoes pushing his bike?"
I dont know whether to
or 
or just be :x
I probably could add a few other things to the list as well but that is all for now....

Sounds like a crap day
Summer riding I don't use a full waterproof - just a Fox lightweight wind proof - I find its cooler and water resistant enough to get me home0
