The forecast called for cloudy skies but mostly dry weather. Yeah, right. When I started out around 11am there already was a slight drizzle falling - scale 2 on a rain-scale of 10, scale 1 being mist - but after a couple of K's things proceeded to the next level. A good steady drizzle and with the streets now becoming exceedingly wetter I halted to get into my Gore-Tex raincoat and pull the raincover over my backpack. Not long afterwards things moved into the "light steady rain" degree . This was going about as high on the precipitation scale as I will tolerate. Even though my raincoat kept me nicely warm and cosy, it was the wash of the splattering water my tyres launched upwards that began to make my buttocks, lower legs and feet feel wetter than what I assess as 'comfortable'. So I looped back a bit sooner than I had intended and just before arriving home the rain moved up another notch.
