40mm

It's not often the defining image from a bike race is a satellite rainfall chart, but that was about right for this morning's Hong Kong National Road Race. Guess where our race was on this chart? Yep, right under the yellow blob. 40mm rainfall in one hour is the same as South Africa gets in a month! Thanks to Jonny for the image, pinched from his facebook album. Not the best race for me on many counts, but that's what you get for not training enough and watching too much football. Full report to follow on www.colossi.cc. The definite highlight was the story about the Junior who went into a metre deep puddle and didn't come out.
