Well, the rain was already heavy, beating down on my skylight, when I read this. Come 09:00 I decided to have another look at what the Met Office super-computer had come up with: still dry to miday!<br /><br />so, as it was my ride, I set of the the Swan and Sugar Loaf and waited, in the rain that was not due until miday. Finally the gallant Trevor rode up and off we went. <br /><br />As well as not forecasting the morning rain, the wonderful Met Office also did not forecast the thick fog that greeted us at the top of Beddlestead Farm Lane. So it was back through Warlingham to Purley.Evhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16433680046196519525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8893246252334709601.post-32897695318349329392010-02-22T00:24:11.762+00:002010-02-22T00:24:11.762+00:00Well done!
