Picked up the singlespeed from Eighteen bikes on Saturday and headed out for a short ride around 5pm, it HAD been a clear, sunny winters day.
Five minutes into the ride it started to rain, an hour later we were in a full blown gale - although short it was the most difficult riding conditions, I’ve ridden in for a while (perhaps ever). I was riding for just over an hour.
Meanwhile Shaggy (singlespeed!) and Twinkly Dave were deciding the winner of the solo category of the Straffpufer race around 170+ miles in 24 hours, in those conditions - they think they had it bad - sheesh!
