There are some things that bike commuting every day can prepare you for. This is not one of them. Still, Marie and I arrived in high spirits.
Next day, I went out for a recce in the rain. I got very wet, very quickly and then ran off to Walmart, which is a couple of miles out of town. Apparently, one is not meant to do such things here, I got some odd looks. I also had a good run about, tried out the bus, explored the lake, went to a bank and just generally caused trouble.
As a result of 48 hrs in wet trainers I now have trenchfoot. So, am hobbling :P
Right, I'm out for a while.

And yes, before anyone asks, I did manage to get my sponsors to offset my carbon. Whoo!
