Your ride today.... (part 1)

[fossyant]

Decided to go back to keeping a record on bikejournal after being plagued by illness and injury in 2008...suppose I'd better get computers back on the bikes!

Excuses...excuses...why not 1 million miles last year eh..... You mile muncher you..................

Just a round trip of 7 miles to the nearest shop for bread and a newspaper, that was enough in the freezing fog with visibility about 150 metres.

Still, mustn't complain, there was no wind.

Ride this morning was fun but at one point an ear actually snapped off it was that cold .

20 miles in SW London... the freezing temp didn't stop Richmond park being packed full of nutter roadies!

28 mile loop, lot colder than yesterday! 10 mph NW wind which did not help. Had planned to do 40ish but I turned for home early. Broke a golden rule, went out with the wind behind me, last 10 were a miserable struggle. Reckon taking the wind chill factor into consideration I doubt if the temp averaged out much above -3 or -4. Taking tomorrow off, tired of being bloody freezing all the time.

Bless me father for I have sinned, as it is the 3rd January and I haven’t been out on my bike this year, but it’s cold and I feel like shoot

I wouldn't fret. I missed all of December because of severe tonsilitis, flu and a succession of colds and coughs.

I finally got out yesterday and today to see if my legs still worked. Thankfully they do - I've got a 100km audax next weekend.

20 miles in the freezing cold of Leeds. SO cold I couldn't stop shaking when I got home. Felt good though.

I cycled to North Berwick today but after 69 miles on the bike I cheated and stopped off to pick up the car. Here's a few pics I took with my phone.

Nice pics HLaB. Like the one of Milsey Bay.

Usual 14 mile commute this morning. At 7.30, when I left the house, it was so cold I thought about putting on another pair of longs!
