The weather forecast really let me down today. Showers were expected in most southern areas as from 2pm, so met up with Flooky at Bury Hill, the plan, a whizz to Loomies. After a hot drink we were off, accompanied by rain at around 10:30. It was proper rain all the way there, but was determined not to be put off. There were 4 or 5 other hardy souls already chowing down when we got there. After brunch we had a nose round the new, to me, shop out the back, which resulted in a Loomies hoodie being crammed in the tank bag.
The rain was in for the duration now, so after a visor clean it was back on the bikes to splash our way back home. By the time we got to Petworth on the 272, it become obvious I'd made a schoolboy error, and had forgotten to zip up my trouser pockets, so all the laminate fabric in the world is going to fail in such circumstances. The last 50 miles or so was a tad miserable to say the least, but nothing that a hot shower and a cuppa couldn't fix. There will be a dry day soon, hopefully, maybe.
