'Cause it's raining... by maggiemae

'Cause it's raining...

The first event on this Bike Challenge is a Hill Climb and there wasn't a shortish of competitors, only not so many spectators with continual rain and very low temperatures! Here John is being interviewed by the race commentator.

Three Good Things:
1. We spent most of the day on a 'data pickup' crawl. Various spots round the city were identified and once you were there, you got a gift of megabytes We ended up getting 3 gigabytes on that trail!
2. I got wet socks with one of these treks but had one pair of dry ones left!
3. A long lost nephew to meet. He was adopted out as a child and the family just found him this year. He was over the moon being a biker, that Burt Munro was his grandfather!
Look more like English weather

This makes me feel cold and wet too. How interesting that you had a 'data pickup' crawl.. Sounds like a great idea. I hope the weather improves - we are having such a very wet spring here too.

@quicksilver I'm surprised it came out so well - my camera was wet as I was!

@maggiemae I'm not surprised. The rain looks very heavy.

This could be one of those photo challenges where you present an image and people write short stories imagining what's happening. What stories we could all tell!

It definitely got the very wet look.
November 25th, 2016  
Great shot. Hope the weather improves.

Obviously very dedicated and enthusiastic. The weather looks decidedly miserable.

My hands and face were so cold, I really swore, Tony! But the next day it changed - not quite tropical but so much warmer! @tonydebont
