Headed out to Rivi this evening to meet Jonny, it was to be my first time meeting his new singlespeed! As usual I didn't quite leave myself enough time, even after the meeting time was put back 15mins so had to push the last bit. It was a lovely clear evening although very very dark. Or maybe that was just Barrow Bridge?Nice loop round Rivi with a new trail for me, probably boring during the day but lovely as a night riding trail.
Split at the school and I headed back up onto Georges Lane. Here the weather changed to torrential rain and gale force winds. I stopped and wrestled two jackets onto me put my lights on high and head down I continued. Back down through Barrow Bridge. Back out onto the ring road and I swam home via the lakes that had formed where there was once a road. Crazy how quickly it can change! Glad that I live somewhere that isn't flood prone though and hope Cumbria wasn't getting more of what they had last week.
