I have searched every weather forecast on the web and they all say the same thing, wet and windy (it will be a crosswind with a slight tailwind rather than headwind which helps a bit). So it’s out with the waterproof and arm warmers. Am I mad? Maybe. But I love this ride and wouldn’t miss it for the world.

Looking forward to reading about the big ride!
I cycled this in a giant green worm costume…definitely not the best gear for such a wet day!!
Must have been even harder when it got wet!
