Having had to cancel the 'early bird' ride due to the wet weather I decided that I would join Chris Parker for his 'bacon buttie ride 'instead. No one else was masochistic enough to ride in such heavy rain but myself and Chris decided we would simply do the weds chaingang to get a few miles without risking sliding over on a twisty route. It was quite exciting looking at all the flooding on the Norman's bay road to Pevensey, Chris said he had never seen it so flooded. There was so much water on the road I suffered a blow out where I hit a pothole hidden by deep water . We pulled into the bottom of spooky hill to fix it. The flooding was particularly bad here and we enjoyed watching all the cars ploughing through the deep water, watching it spray all over their windscreens. By the time we got to Pevensey, we were both too wet and soggy to contemplate going in a cafe stop and headed straight for home. On the way back Chris also got a sudden puncture which took a while to fix as the rims on Chris's wheel are extra thick for strength.
