Wet Wet Wet

After having two new tyres fitted (looking very flash) I decided yesterday would be the day to take the plunge and cycle to work....take two. Loved it, not idea why I was worried at all. Though there are a few drivers who like to drive a little too close for comfort. I was looking forward to the cycle home until I saw a big black cloud coming my way. I tried hurrying up in the hope I might miss the inevitable downpour that was approaching. Ha obviously didn't peddle fast enough or I was just peddling towards it at great pace! I got soaked through, I can't even explain what it was like. I'm not talking a little bit of rain, I'm talking big fat rain drops, heavy winds, thunder and lightening. I had to stop at one point because the rain was stinging my eyes and thought it would be a good idea to 'hide' under a tree, erm perhaps not when it's lightening. Thankfully is died down a little and I manage to carry on cycling home. I could see all the people in their cars thinking 'is she mad?'....Answer = yes! All in all great fun, it's all part of the experience. Cycling is turning me into a new person. If you would have said 12 months ago I would be cycling home from work in torrential rain I would have laughed in your face.  

I'm really glad I took on the challenge of cycling London to Paris. I have a found a great new hobby/sport/way of life that I really have grown to love. I never thought I'd enjoy cycling so much and would recommend it to everyone. I'm also raising money for WaterAid and approaching the £1,000 mark. A big THANK YOU to everyone who has donated so far.
