crazy rain!!!!



about a week ago we had a real heavy downpour type of day,it was the day i posted about the new boot gators id got and was off out on a nightride to try them out,well the rain had cleared and i can report they certainly keep stuff out your boots

here was me just returned home muddy and happy!...

it felt weird riding a full suspension bike as i haven't rode the cannondale for about 2 months,still a great bike...

so on the way up to my friends i shot some film whilst driving and took some stills and ended up making a short sunset film...



so i thought that was the last of the bad weather,oh no,it came back with a vengeance...
we got 2 months average rainfall in 2 days!!,it was mad,it just poured down for hours and hours and hours,thursday night it hadn't let up at all so rather than go a cycle as per usual thursday evening i went a walk along the river tyne armed with an unberella so i could film and although most of the riverside path was underwater i managed to scurry up and down bankings and using the brolly.filmed enough to put together a film...



now ive gone into film over drive as i made another on the pugsley this morning!
i was up at 5.30am for work and filmed the sunrise


while behind this to the west a full moon set


i left a camera on the tripod for an hour then on movie maker i doubled the speed-4 times to make a sunrise film
theres lots of flooding around in the fields.looks like not alot of harvest work for a while...

i finished and left work about 7.30am -early bird catches the worm!!,and i had a low tide to catch on the pugsley at 8.50am!
i stopped a few times on the way home from work to take a few pics...





home for breakfast then time to head for the beach on pugsley...........,

  1. I think you've just talked someone else into buying gators. Just got to get some waterproof boots first!

  2. i dont think think there 100% waterproof but what is?!!!!,good to not have dirty gloop and twigs and stuff in your boots, my MT90 boots have been 100% waterproof-just the water going in over the tops the issue but i would recommend them,now if i could just find something simular with a sole good for flat pedals for the pugsley!
