I went out at lunchtime to cycle into town, as I had a parcel to post off to Australia. Cold and wet, but great for cycling as it was a tailwind into town. The weather was actually okay, as I dressed appropriately, so stayed dry and warm.
Cycling back was another matter. Bracing is the term I think. A headwind all the way back, and it's a bit much when you have to pedal downhill to keep going forwards. As I got on the outskirts of home village it started to hail. That woke me up and caused me to get a move on.
But it did wake me up and leave me refreshed for the rest of the day.
Cheers, helen s

Sounds like the stuff we had yesterday. One second blue sky, next torrential hailstones. Sat waiting in heavy traffic, gloved hand shielding my eyes by still could hardly raise my head. Then the traffic lights went green. Failed miserably in trying to ride off so abandoned. Ten seconds later it stopped and the sky was blue again but the damage was done.
