To nobody’s surprise , a select two of us headed out tonight for a spin up to Loch Ardinning. It wasn’t so much muddy as biblical level wet.Much of the riding was under water and yet despite that, we had a riot. It was dodge the frog time as we took the longer route round the loch with the constant fat rain making its presence felt. With plenty of good chat ranging from retrobike to the latest doping revelations from the pro tour, we seemed to whizz round in double quick time with me getting back home to the west end just gone ten. Not bad for a decent length of ride on a wet October night.

Haha, good on you for getting out, I did wonder how it was as I got a thorough drowning on the ride home. Paisley Road West was a canal in places. I’ve often noticed how rides in the worst conditions turn out to be the most fun.
Aye, you can only get so wet. Gt western road at Gartnavel was seriously flooded on the ride back in. Like you say, if you go out looking forward to the rain, it’s a whole lot of fun!
As Sean Kelly once said: “When it was raining I’d still go out training and then decide whether it was too wet when I got back”.
We didn’t drown, so it was fine. I actually quite enjoy riding in weather like that…
