I'd like to go out...

I saw one roadie out in shorts and SS jersey. He may have even had mitts on! Nutcase! All other riders seemed wrapped up although perhaps less than me

I was well wrapped up. Had on whats in the picture, and gloves and a hat and buff

I was out yesterday in a pair of tights, a long sleeve 'compression' shirt (it's too big) and a t-shirt. I saw people in coats and thought "stuff that I'd be a smelly mess", but I was very very red when I got home, probably a less than I should've worn.

You need a balaclava and goggles added to your clothing manifest.

Shorts and that sort of cold = very unhappy knees I'd say!

Went out for a quick 15 miles. It was very cold, couldn't resist taking this picture of icicles!!

I didn't see many other bikes out there at all today.

As I'm up in my favourite part of the country ( north lincs), I have ridden 120 odd miles since Friday and it is without doubt the coldest I,ve cycled in, while riding along the top of the ridge towards south ferriby the wind seems to cut right through and chill you to the bone. Still wont stop me going out tomorrow though ;-)

That might take some rather unpleasant surgery!

Deends on your perspective!

tis a touch chilly here as well, but not enough to disuade a 55km ride this morning, clad in 1 merino wool top & a waterproof, OK I had winter cycling tights on, socks, hiking boots & a small buff + winter gloves as well - spoils the picture a touch but I try not to overdress for the cold. wait til the summer then you'll be getting the "its too warm" from me ...

I tell myself it is not as bad as I think, it will get warmer just as soon as I get to the end of my road. Then the only way is up. Some of the early descents were a touch cold though - especially the one I got up to 55kph on... my OH did remark that he was glad he had put is tights on rather than his shorts.. somewhere around 0C here and snowing on & off yet again. dry though with little risk from ice.

Keep planning your coffee stops, spring is around the corner so a little bird tells me as it sits 1m from my open bedroom window each morning...

Hmm, the cycling in the cold appears to have given me a stinky sinusy headache

I sympathise, i've had one of those for 4 days now. Feel like crap. No a happy chappy at all . I'm hoping SNSSO is right bout spring time..lol

Funny that, I saw quite a few, and a friendly lot for a change almost everyone said hi, not that there are many that dont around here, just seemed a higher proportion, maybe the weather had something to do with it.
Only thing that got cold was my toes.

Well all the footballs finished, so I am about to do a cold dusk ride. Doesn't look appealing at all.
