Tried putting in jacket back pocket but too shallow. Baselayer underneath so no pockets on that

Baselayer and a jacket! It's June.

It's also close to midnight.

My first night ride got down to about 5 degrees. In June. I was wearing 5 layers and was still cold.

Have a great ride.

But tonight the temp is in the mid teens.

Having trouble accommodating my pump...can I ditch it?

Yes there's be dozens of pumps available. Just don't be late at the start please.

True. Let's hope it stays like that. On the infamous Southend ride there was a difference of 11 degrees between the forecast 4 degrees minimum and the actual minus 7. I'm wearing a short sleeved spiffing club jersey with a red star on it. I also have a gilet, soft shell jacket and rainproof top plus two spare Buffs.

Not that you know much about night riding, of course.

I reckon most people's metabolism hits a low ebb in the small hours, so you feel cold and shivery even if the temperature suggests otherwise.

Have a good ride folks. Just got home from work & a quick (ish) pub stop & it's starting tipping it down up here. Wishing you all a safe, dry & happy ride

I've missed my train. Having a mini breakdown after 2 days being on high alert waiting for That Call From Home about my mother. May catch you all as you come through Mitcham around 1am, if I pull myself together. Won't be sleeping anyway so may as well, right?
