the rain on Tiree fell- all bloomin day

I learned 4 things today
1) cycling uphill into a force 9 gale is hard work
2) you can not hear cars coming up behind you when cycling into the wind
3) some drivers don't seem to realise this and try to overtake you at 30MPH on a 6 ft wide road- with no room for wobbling
4) you get very wet but are thankful to still be alive
