First training ride!

Wow! What a day to choose for my first long ride! Gale force winds, vertical rain. I came back like a drowned rat! Still, that's the first long ride under my belt so from the relative warmth now it is a good thing!!

Also got to ride through some pretty Essex villages (from what I could see through the rain), particularly Henham.

I think I may need to invest in some cold/wet weather gear to get me through the winter...
