Techno-ride today

Post by TonyR »

Went out for a nice 2 hour run today with my phone connected up to the metcheck.com lightning strike site so I could see if any storms were approaching and I needed to head home sharpish. As it was the area stayed clear despite a few thunderheads going up and I enjoyed a finish in brilliant sunshine and thoroughly drenched in sweat. Sometimes technology is wonderful.

Are metcheck any more reliable these days?

I couldn't resist doing a screengrab of this forecast of theirs a few years back

I don't know, but I do know my bike would melt under those conditions. I probably wouldn't do well either.
