Sounded like the siege of Stalingrad.... lightning and very heavy rains last night.
Made for very careful ridng before sunrise. Branches down, & apple sized rocks washed across the roads in hairpin bends, gravel is corners, etc.
I considered this before rising from bed this morning - and planned for it by taking the Piaggio with its much better headlight.
Yesterday there was a 6' wide stream meandering through this cow pasture.
The other side of the road.....
Those 'apples' were waiting for me just above this cottage in a hairpin, downhill snake of a road.
