Rain in the Forest

Felt re-energised this week, probably from watching all the exciting Tour action in the Alps where the battle for Yellow has really hotted up. Monday evening I rode to Uckfield. Used the A22 on the way down. Whilst it was fast, it was also nastily busy, so came back through the lanes via Nutley. Last night I was out again, this time across to Tunbridge Wells. The rain came down heavily on the home run, quite refreshing in a way. The roads though are in a bad way, potholed from all the recent bad weather and slippery to boot. Some of the potholes are like moon craters and would cause you a nasty problem if you hit one on a bike. You certainly have to concentrate on the road ahead around here. Oh to be back in France!
