had a quick 70 mile blast this evening, it's be roasting hot for the last 10 days, just over 40 degrees on many of those days, there's no point in riding in that kind of weather, but today the temps dropped to below mid 30's......
so I waited until late afternoon/early evening and went for a quick blast. the sky's were very overcast and grey, but no rain was predicted.
so off I set, keeping up a fairly respectable pace. I make it to a bar in Mequinenza, so I can have a nice cold shampoo.....(a Spanish version of shandy)
within a few minutes of starting my drink there's thunder rumbling every minute, the skies are getting darker and darker, a local advises me that there is a severe weather warning that's just been issued......feck it!!!!
if you've ever seen a Spanish thunder storm you'll know how bad they get, normally there's flooding within 5mins.....
so I down my pint, get kitted back up in record time and head for home with the thunder rumbling along with me.
in front of me is clear-ish sky's, but behind me is dark as feck.
I can't go flat out as i'm low on go go juice....doh!!!!
even tho I kept the speed below 3 figures I still got home in time, and just my luck, within a few minutes of getting home it's blue sky's again ffs!!!!
seems the Spanish weather forecasters are just as bad as the British....
all's well that ends well I suppose......
