So Britain has had its week of summer then?

Seriously though, I knew you guys had had some serious weather just before the prologue - the Thames was incredibly brown - was that from all the rain too?

I hadn't realised you were still getting flooded and heavily rained on!

We're in the middle of winter here (actially, its a month past solstice now, so days are starting to get longer) but I know your frustration with not being able to get out on the bike to ride!

Be safe and I wish you dry patches and days that cooincide exactly at the time you are ready to ride...
