Orange Alert

This is more of an amendment than an entry... I would like to include 'Rain' in the list of things 'cyclists' like myself despise.

Attempting to set off this morning I was practically physically prevented from doing so by the reception staff who went on to explain the area is on 'Orange alert' level 3 apparently...which transpires to mean a high risk of storms and dangerous flooding. Roads closed, traffic diverted, trains delayed and cycling certainly not a possibility. Apparently it's still sunny in Paris...
