Today was Tynehead park day. Haven't done that ride since spring methinks. Looked at two different weather apps, and as usual they differed. This time however they differed rather radically. One said showers in the morning and overcast in the afternoon, the other offered showers, thunder, and bonus lightning.
Hmmm... Being the optimist, I opted to subscribe to the former (cuz that's the way I like it), so off I went shorts and Tshirt at 23C or so. Lovely!
Heading out in the hood...
Welcome to the Greenway? Lookin' sketchy in more ways than one...
Hmmm...
Destination is over that hill. Lookin' darker...
Made it to the park. Time for a water break. Two minutes later, the rain started...
Hid under these trees for a bit. I think the moss has taken a lichen to them...
Tynehead has a hatchery...
Bikes at every corner...
Got absolutely drenched on the way back. Thankfully it was warm, no biggie! Hightailed it outta there!
Then the sky opened and the other weather app was correct again, so stopped to finish the water...
I arrived home all nice and dry, but I must pay homage to the Lord of 800wh of power. Got a Strava PR on the way back. I have now received a summons to appear for assault on battery...
Shut up Dave...
