Out to Boxford, Showers, Torrential Rain, Hail

With the very cold weather forecast for the latter part of January, I decided to ride the second of my three 200 km DIYs on Sunday 8 January. With the Audax RRtY guidance “Miss a month and you have to start again” in my head I felt that Sunday had a “now or never” feel about it.

The weather forecast was for no rain in the morning and only a 24% chance of rain in the afternoon. How wrong the forecast was! It was to be a day of showers, torrential rain, flooding and hail.
