Saturday. Sunshine blue. Woodland. Roots damp from the night before. Fallen leaves under tyre. Falling leaves onto bar. Smell pine. Mist dampens the woodland view. Break out into open range. Blue gone in 60secs. Grey to black and black to soaked. Rain. Biblical rain. Hail. Shelter. Give up shelter. Pertex outgunned. Slog home. Blue re-emergence. Last mile dry and warm. Rumbledethumps. Tea. Best ride of my life.
