MooN Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Brother in law is going on a temporary transfer to a specialist centre in Hyeres tomorrow and needed some stuff dripping of for him in Lyon before he leaves. Wed planned to go and spend the afternoon with him sunday to take him his stuff. But, the cat escaped from the colditz courtyard on Thursday night, reappeared on friday in a bad way. Vet says she got bitten by a dog so 4 stitches and convalescent. Didnt want to leave her alone all day Saturday so Mrs Moon stayed home & i decided to run down to Lyon and back by bike. 4.5h run south ( no motorway) getting there at 14:00. Sit around in the warm and dry taking the piss out of brother in law whilst a storm front goumes through from sw to ne and then a 3 h night blast up the autoroute home for 22hoo ish. Boy did i get that plan wrong! left here 09:00 having checked the weather radar and realised the storm front was moving faster then forcast and starting to rotate north. i stopped about an hour out to zdd a layer under my jacket cos the temps dropped 5°. Again an hour later for a quick slurp of coffee from my flask and a 2nd thermal layer. I was already on the northern edge of the storm fron and the rain was coming down steadily. I got a bit further south before finding a bus shelter to eat me sarnies in whilst watching alternately the rain and the weather radar. It become very clear over half an hour that i was going to have to bail on the brother in law and rely on that age old tried and tested military strategy of” running away”. The storm front was moving much faster than id thought and the main body was now right between me and Lyon. The weather radar shows the storm had reached the Rhone valley and stalled, curling north in an anticlockwise rotation, generating wind and lightning strikes along with heavy rainfall. i misread that completely! And rode home with my tail between my legs ( metaphorically. Though the rain eased as i got further north i definitely found the limits of ALL my rain gear well before i got home. I dont remember being so thoroughly soaked in years. i am decidedly too old for that shit. i’ pit brither in laws stuff in a box and sent it “chronoposte”. 400 odd km round trip, 300of which in steady rain. on the plus side im not aching all over this morning, and the bike didnt miss a beat. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
