Steam coming up off you soaking wet back. Fuck riding in the rain. :rolleyes
People don't realise, unless they too do it, how hard that is working out in all weathers and the toll it takes on you, especially as you get older.
It's no joke out in the cold and wet all day. It runs you down.
Having said that I admire anyone that does ride all weather. I couldn't face it now.
Like you tommy I've spent all my working life so far outdoors. Not quite managed 53 years yet tho!.
