A wet bike ride

9th June 2012

9 riders out!

We headed over to Manchester airport today with Callum from Connors class at school and his family, Dad also joined us for what was potentially going to be a wet day out.
It poured it down all the way there, and when we were unloading the bikes from the cars, we had to dive for cover out of the monsoon-like weather.
Lots of flooded paths and tracks today so the kids had fun!

Like I said the kids had fun!

Callum managing a U-turn in 6" of muddy water
Connor, desperate to have the biggest bow-wave.
Cerys is in there, it was more like riding in a shallow canal today at times!

Just after arriving at the viewing park this Cathy Pacific Cargo jumbo landed.
Wishfull thinking? A week of sun? Anything but this!
Cerys - the only one who was completely rain free! I wish I could ride in the trailer (instead of towing it)
Mums, chatting again.

Under the final approach, it was almost a constant stream of aircraft arrivals and departures today it must be because its err, (coughs) SUMMER!

I tracked the route with a little I-gotU device today, it says the distance was 13 miles.
