Anyone else had enough of winter?

[Welsh wheels]

What with ice, snow, rain, cold, dark, wind, falling off on ice, dirty bikes etc I am more than ready for summer. This time of year I feel pretty darn tough for being a cyclist.

Winter riding toughens you up for the easier days of spring and summer.

 

[Tin Pot]

No, actually.

I need Winter to last longer so I’m fitter for Spring, and have time to enjoy ski season.



Oh, I’m doing all my cycling indoors

I await people moaning about how hot it is come Summer.....

 

[palinurus]

Yeah. It's the darkness more'n anything else. That and the bastard rain.

 

[gavroche]

Hardly any cycling here as I lose my motivation in winter. Can't wait for more daylight and higher temperatures.

You’ll never hear me complain about the heat of summer. It’s pain relief for me! Plus I love the sunshine. It improves my mood significantly (as does less muscle and joint pain!).

Subsequently, I do moan about the cold a lot.

Winter miles = Summer smiles

Winter miles = Summer smiles

Lack of sleep= fall in a ditch .
getting by on 3-4 hours a day is not conducive to being chipper.

Indeed, managed to keep to around 100 miles a week during the winter so far.

I can’t sleep in summer. I struggle normally but when the suns up early there’s no chance for me!

That don`t sound too good buddy. Have you talked to your doctor about it?

Normally I don't mind winter. I love snow and cold bright crisp sunny days. But this year it does seem to have been particularly dull. The sun made a fleeting appearance here at about 3-30pm today, it was the first time it's been out at all since January 7th. One day I was working from home and it was so gloomy I didn't even bother to open the curtains as there seemed no point. So yes, in short, I've had enough of it.

The older you get the longer the bloody thing seems to last. I'm a summer person.
