Well that was a new wet weather surprise

[Iminquarantine]

Riding around in this fking ridiculous tropical style downpour just now, I had an adverse weather experience which is a new one on me.

Riding at about 50mph in lane 2 of a 3 lane dual carriageway, as both lanes 1 and 3 had standing fking water, both my feet were blown off the pegs by a wall of water thrown up by a vehicle which drove through some standing water beside me.

That would scare the beejeezus out of me!

I've not had my feet blow off, but heading back from Ealing one time a truck came past me on the other side of the road, at a fair speed, causing a wave / tunnel over me and then come down over me. Goretex kept me mostly dry....

I remember this one time in the ark when the elephants and the hippos were well on it and someone suggested sticking the car keys in a bowl and seeing what happened next.

I kid you not, the bow-wave we made must have flattened most of western Europe...
