Very windy here, but lovely and sunny. Great to look out at but bloomin' freezing walking the dog this morning. No way I'm risking a ride today, but might have a bit of a maintenance session in the garage as need to lube my chain
Enjoy riding anybody who goes out and stay safe!

Very windy in Leicester, so I only did 40 miles 
. At some points I was just crawling along but despite it being very hard work I enjoyed the ride. When I do a tough ride like this, I realise how far I have come, this time last year a) I wouldn't have gone out, b) if I had gone out I would have quit after a few miles.

Just back from 7.5 miles in the wind, first proper ride on the new bike, all up or down hill. Was difficult work going up a 3% hill with a strong headwind!
Started raining at one point so i hid under a tree till it passed 2 mins later!
I need a windproof jersey though, I went out did 2 miles in a thermal base layer and a running T shirt, swapped to a running long sleeved shirt after 2 miles. The wind really is not nice though!

Of course goes without saying.... lol
Just hope it makes the ride's a little more easier for her than the hybrid (It's got to hasn't it)
@Supersuperleeds nice one on getting out today. Braver man than I was lol.
Just got myself a nice bargain. Girlfriend wanted to nip aldi so went in and seen cycling socks reduced from £4 - £1.50 so grabbed 3 pairs.
They also had the mtb and road shoes for £8 and also base layers, jerseys and tights all reduced although didn't see any price on those.

No need to push it too hard. Greater fitness and speed will come naturally with time.

Wind today was horrendous, not something I'd want to be cycling in, so much respect to those who actually made it out. Tomorrow looks much better, weather-wise, and the OH is planning on taking his motorbike out so I'll have plenty of time to get the bicycles cleaned and fit the shiny new clipless pedals and saddlebag I got for Christmas and maybe take the bike to the local park to get used to being clipped in.
Have a few other minor jobs on the bikes which need doing too. I see tomorrow being a day spent getting my hands dirty, which is fine by me.

Planning (again!) a ride today but it was super frosty out with the dog. My history in frost/black ice makes me very nervous. Debating whether to go out now and stick to main roads or leave it til a bit later. Spent most of yesterday preparing my accounts for my Tax Return so I'd love to get out today, just can't decide
In the meantime, toast and coffee x
