  1. Just back from a glorious couple of hours enjoying the
    sunshine and watching the rainstorms sweeping over the
    Cambridgeshire plain as I cycled along the top of the
    Hertfordshire hills running from Duxford through to Royston.
    Only got wet once and that was from below fording a deep
    (halfway to hub) flood. Loads of water on the roads and been
    through three floods today altogether. Horses - one; other
    cyclists - nil.

    It chucked it down this morning in my bit of Norfolk, and I
    was mightily teed off, as I wanted to get out on the bike
    after spending all day yesterday gardening. It cleared up a
    little while ago, so I got the bike out and pootled a while.
    The lanes were full of puddles and the smell of fresh, clean
    wet earth is *lovely*. Several other cyclists about -
    exchanged greetings with them. Exchanged 'baaaas' with the
    lambs in the fields and had a throughly enjoyable evening
    cycle ride, as the sun sank lower in the sky.

    Glorious.

    Cheers, helen s

    No rain at all up here all weekend, all three days of it.

    The last time I was out and about, I went through a ford on
    the trike for the first time - it was a bit of a shock! 8-O

    However, in the best spirit of adventure, I went back and
    did it twice more, laughing manically & sending great plumes
    of water up! I felt about ten years old - good thing there
    was nobody else around...

    In the ten days since then, I've had three days off, and
    there've been just three days of rain here. No prizes for
    guessing the % correlation between the two. :-(
