YUCKK!!
Lets hope it wasn't too cold with it, over here those rain fronts tend to make the scale drop quite a bit and things get nasty once soaked to the skin.
.... sunshine and a howling gale...
That'll dry things out...sounds like the same we've had here for the last couple of days.
Looks like a great loop....and thanks for posting up, there are always bits I find when piecing your rides together from pics and names and roadsigns.
There's still a possible NI postie-run in the wind...
