19/05/2015 A short, windy, Haily ride around town !

Tuesday, May 19th, 2015

Went out for an evening ride on the cyclocross bike

Decided to try and dodge the showers for a quick ride – well we all make silly mistakes !

Rode up Hanger Hill to the station then down St Georges Avenue to Egerton Road

Rode through to Gower Road and Queens Road, then mother nature revealed her hand

As I rode along Queens Road the rain started with big lazy drops, then down came the hail ouch !

At Monument Green I abandoned the ride and rode back up Hanger Hill to home.

Thus concludes 1 short, soggy, hail struck loop 🙁
