One of the coldest I can remember!

It got down to -9.5°C at one point.

I think the grease in my headset was giving up and at one point one of my shifters wouldn't.

Freehub was a bit sticky too.

ouch , thats chilly ! the worse i had was about 12-15 years ago ? when we had that really long cold spell when it was forecast -12 c .Funnily enough although it was very cold the roads were pretty clear as there had been no rain/snow for a period and what there was had been worn away by traffic .

Weirdly it didn't feel that cold. I had an extra layer on, but I've somehow felt colder at -2°C

Its a really damp cold around here at the moment. You can't see in the photo but the pipes and cables acquired a furry fluffy frosting coating on the ride home.

The spikey tyres are a hindrance for 5miles of main roads, but a boon for the other 1 and a bit miles.

indeed , its the humidity in the uk that make it feel worse either in hot or cold, once you get down to proper chilly i guess it makes it not feel so bad ?

I was stretching until this lump decided to “ help” me

Looks like you have some great colleagues - I'd love to work with animals
