Ride report
Rain and 20mph gusts were on their way, we reminded ourselves as we waited. We waited and we waited. Finally, an hour later when our lunch was announced, we resigned ourselves to the prospect of facing that rain and those gusts. The 2 earlier punctures and then the long delay at lunch. No one was laughing at my full waterproof trousers now.
