• In my novice eagerness to not miss my start I arrived about 15 minutes before I was off and managed to get pretty hypothermic! It was so cold!
    I saw lots of others had left jackets with the starters, so that's a lesson learnt.

    If it makes you feel better, I was there too early as well, but it's better than being late (done that too). I also elected not to bother with a jacket, gloves, etc.

  • I was there about 10 minutes early, but needed some time to remove leg warmers and to have my number repinned as my club mate did a sh1t job the first time round!

    I went winter gloves and a base layer under the skinsuit and a buff underneath my TT helmet, as much to absorb sweat as anything else, but it was too cold for any of that nonesense, so cold in fact that the grippers on my skinsuit didn't actually grip so I was gunning for the fosterman short shorts look...
