1.04 mi in 00:05:58 hours at 10.46 mi/h on Bianchi Nironne 7. [Cycling] Bizzare way to get home from the golf club - after anither torrential downpour all the roads were again flooded so after an interesting lift home past numerous drains which had turned into fountains in the road I was eventually dropped off on York Avenue which was shut .... except for bikes - so off I cycled through over 2 feet of water dipping my pedals in & out of what was a lake on the avenue and onwards home.
Garmin not switched on due to the weather
