It’s raining this week, which in the context of regular Mancunian weather is perfectly normal and should be expected. It has however been dry and warm for almost as long as I can remember – we’ve even got a hosepipe ban, just like when we were kids… so for the rain to arrive right now, a few days before Hit the North, is a right bloody slap in the mouth. It looks like there’s a few days worth of it out to the west too,gradually turning the dusty fast trails of last week into…well you know what.

Ah well. It could be worse. At least I’m not racing eh? 😉

SEE YOU AT THE WEEKEND HIT THE NORTH’ERS – THE KETTLE’S ON!
