Actually it's never miss Wednesday. 

I wish I had a bike up here in Scotland - the weather's great at the moment :)

Well there’s me thinking only Chris had left us. A total no show last night, this would not have happened if Chris was here we could always count on him regardless of the weather. Luckily for me a new guy turned up, John one of the regular Raven riders had come along on Dave’s recommendation. As tempting as it was to cancel it and just go home I thought of the group motto ‘Numquam deesset Mercurii’ (free bag of crisps for the first person to translate). So after a chat I suggested to John that Box may be a good ride as it does not get too wet in the rain…..little did I realise.
 
So with the canal open again for business off we headed, not too wet. We came off the toe path in the usual place and headed down over the level crossing to encounter the first puddle (large pond) of the evening. In the field after the crossing was a huge puddle, no way of going round really so through the middle, went over my hubs, toes and shoes soaked. The mud was not actually too bad for the entire ride, but the amount of water running off fields and in the waterways was awesome many of the smaller rivers having burst their banks, Box wood was a little to sloppy to bother with, the climb up to Collerene was a river of water and the final decent was probably the only really scary bit of the evening offering my dry summer tyres sod all grip.
 
I did promise John there would be more of us next week…….will he return???
