cold legs ... doh

but it does look nice out there right now .. not a cloud to be seen ... my porthole is quite small though admittedly

are you on a submarine? there's no clouds under the sea you know...

Who is riding this morning?

Peeling potatoes for Sunday roast? Good idea.

Who is riding this morning?

I had to this morning from Hackney to Kew.

No such thing as bad weather, just wrong bike and clothes (no mudguards and thermal bibs would have been better than cotton trousers. 4 degrees, pissing down, i got home soaked and frozen.

Still trying to work out quite what the equivalent temperature would have been taking into account the wind chill and heat loss to the cold rain.

Did 100 miles, also in the wrong clothes (with the right clothes being a wetsuit).

I went for an hours runvduring a gap in the rain, although admittedly I ran like a man who was made from parts donated to medical science by a motley collection of criminals and deviants.

Brrrr. Frost everywhere this morning, 2.8 degrees when I left the house. Bundle up.

The gritters were out last night

Anyone know of any lightweight gloves with a bit of a grip that don't then superglue themselves to any velcro on your bag or jacket?

I don't like heavy or too padded gloves, and run warm. My DeFeet gloves are great - nice and warm, great grips, especially when carrying the bike in between station platforms.

However, when trying to do anything with my bag that has velcro closures they stick like sh*t to a blanket.

I can't wear wool as I'm allergic, and have plenty of standard non cycling gloves without grips but find they are slippery when carrying the bike.

1.2 degrees when I left the house this morning, even the big fluffy cat was indoors.

I like the chilly weather. Lessens the risk of my cold cold heart melting.

Rather breezy.

Just a bit!!!, a gang from our club left Herts. this morning heading for the Gent 6, hope they made the ferry, that wind is fierce.
Im getting the eurostar tomorrow....wimp!

Rather breezy.

Just a bit

Aye, s'windy

I got blown all over the place tonight, some very severe gusts seemingly coming from every direction.

Side winds bad enough to blow you into on coming traffic. Serious.
I pity any fool riding with a disc tonight. Actually, I just pity fools who ride with a disc.

Every direction but to the back...
I think I had a tail wind for about 200m of my 13 mile commute

I seemed to have a head wind the whole time on this little spin:
