Ride with Theoklitos, Vangelis and Petros to Loutraki. Right from the start the skies looked ominous and dark. Soon after the rendez vous point next to Filippidis souvlaki the first droplets fell. After Kineta it was rain gear time and it didn’t stop until we edged near Loutraki. We were soaked off course as we didn't have the proper gear for that much rain and even the dry clothes I had in the silly Rose backpack were wet as it couldn't keep the rain out. Once there we drunk our coffees and ate our toasties and gazed at the beautiful sea. After an hour or so we started on the way back. But not before long bad luck struck. Petros's rear hub was a write off and the pedals were in a crazy spin with no yield so that was the end of the ride for him. We helped him a little bit until the Corinthian channel and off he went for proastiakos train pushing his bike most of the way, not in a very good mood obviously. The rest of the way was mostly sunny but felt too long.
