Sheffield, normally relatively dry even during the winter. It is always overcast, but it only rains infrequently. Anyway I decided (almost stupidly) to go out for a ride in the weather, not thinking once about the tyres on my bike or how wet it truly was. I needed to get some miles on my bike after a late lecture.

Well about 3 miles into my ride I was going past a side junction and a car decided to pull out into me (just as I was going past him) even though I was easily visible (2 front strong lights, 1 flashing + 1 flashing rear) and managed to clip my shoe but nothing else. Heart certainly started pumping a bit faster. No damage to the bike.
Considering this, the weather and my general lack of grip I decided to call it a night despite enjoying the flat and uphill sections. Pity as I would have loved to do a nice circuit. At least I got out though! |
