Riding in the rain - again

Saturday I went home (to my parents), I wanted to wash the bike because it was very dirty. But it was raining again and I was running out of time (I had to get to a wedding) so I couldn't wait for the road to dry.

The first kilometers were really bad, I was eating a lot of dirt. Then the road got drier and I was gong faster and faster. I was in a hurry because my toes were frozen because of the wet socks. I got home in a record time and with a very dirty bike :)

A ride in strong winds and rain

Last Saturday I went for a ride to Salasuri to visit some relatives.
On the way there the wind was very strong, sometimes from the front, sometimes from the side. Once it even blew me off the road when a truck passed me.

Stats:
    - time: 1:21:56
    - distance: 34,12 km
    - average speed: 25 km/h
    - max speed 52,5 km/h

When I got there it started raining. I've waited a few hours, the rain stopped but the road was still wet. It was getting late so I got on the bike. The road was very wet and soon my shoes and pants got wet to. At first I was going slow but then I realized that it doesn't matter and I begun to like the wet road so I started going faster and faster. I got home about 10 minutes faster and with a dirty bike :)
