Just trolling.
I was probably +6C at sea level for me, on Saturday, too. At 700+m it was more like -4C. But the mountain pass I rode over is only a km or so long at the top. So I've barely had time to think about doing up my jersey before I'm descending the otherside. You just get into the habit of maintaining a descent HR for warmth.
On a day like Saturday cycling in Norway is blissful. Although any serious mechanical that stops you for a while, or if a poor weather front comes in. Things get super shitty, super quickly.
It started to rain on my last 10km home. Riding through sleet, and rain, within spitting distance of home is kinda cool. Feels a bit epic.
