the accurate weather forecast ride

sometimes the boffins at the weather centre get it spot on. today they said it was going to start bright and clear, cloud up at lunch time, become foggy and then rain by 2pm.
I started the ride just after 12 noon, it had been a lovely sunny morning, the trails were really muddy but it was warm. Mat had invited me round for a cuppa and i took advantage of his offer, i got to his around 1330 and had a good old chinwag, as i walked into his garage the sky was clouding over. 45 minutes later i opened the door to thick mist, by the time i got home 25 minutes later it was raining. Uncanny accuracy from the Met office, now if only they could forecast sun and dusty trails!
ride 5
11 miles
total 96
