I had planned to go for a ride this morning but we had a fairly major storm through the night with thunder, lightning and nearly an inch of rain. Our power went out so Sue slept through the alarm and so did i. It was still raining when we got up so i passed on the riding.
After i dropped Sue at work I came home and pottered around. It rained until lunch time and then it "cleared up". It was still cloudy but there was no rain so i decided my excuse had gone away and i got on my bike.
Rode 55km around the river and the Shelley Loop. The dolphins were out and about and while the paths were a bit wet I avoided the rain and the wind was really quite light. because the sky was so dark with thunder clouds the river was a dark inky colour which is a bit unusual, but it looked really good and quite a change from normal.
The rain had washed all the trees down and done the same for the paths so there was little if any glass on them which was a blessing.
I have now done 2642km of the 10000. I have set up a bike on a wind trainer in the garage so i will have no excuses for those days when i cant get out on the roads.
