Last year I was pursued by a “stealth cloud“. This morning was a random weather ride in to work. I put my shades on, leaving the house in glorious sunshine, as I got on to the A3 it went all cloudy and dark, and that was pretty much how it was going to be all […]

It was a bit of a strange day today. I started off from home in gloroius sunshine and hardly a cloud in the sky, and little traffic I was marvelling about this all they way to Bordon, with the visor open. I thought I felt a splash of water. It must be from the trees. […]
