Hmmm, son's scout troop have got a wide game out in the wilds tonight. I've said I'll pick them up. Car full of muddy boy scouts, not good. Bin liners for seat covers is the only way to go.0

Yes, they get up to all sorts. It's very good. One thing did scare me. At a survival camp some bright spark from district hq thought they could forage for mushrooms to eat. Thankfully somebody pointed out the flaws in this plan.rjsterry wrote:

Pi55ing with rain and 2.7C tonight but thankfully the wind has settled down. I'd forgotten how good the Assos Airjack is in this type of weather - I felt totally comfortable the whole 18 milesROAD < Scott Foil HMX Di2, Volagi Liscio Di2, Jamis Renegade Elite Di2, Cube Reaction Race > ROUGH0

Riding in the rain isn't a problem unless you're doing more than 15 miles I don't reckon.
But in bad light with deep puddles, you're bound to hit a potholes. Few rattled my teeth this evening.
I generally like it in the mornings when it's wet because there are fewer nodders clogging up the roads and squeezing past me at traffic lights so I have to overtake them in 30 yards time.0 -
That was fun! Glad to be back in a centrally heated home now though...0
