The forecast was not looking good for today and the only dry period was first thing so was out the door for just after 7am. Wanted to stay local and try and get back before the heavy rain was forecast for 9-10am onwards. I headed down into Durham for local loops around the river banks and near by woods etc. Again it was cold, damp & misty but i was turning the pedals. After 12 miles and just starting to head home the heavens opened early and the last three miles home uphill, into a headwind it was pouring down. By the time i got back in was was soaked and frozen. Not to worry will do my man flu a world of good. Below are a few pics from the ride -
