Brrrrrr

Anyone else noticed the marked drop in temps today/over last 24 hours ?

The windproof skull cap came out this morning after getting a cold head last night. Cycled in this morning to another site - windy and cold, then back to base at lunch - temps dropped again during the morning, and now it looks much colder for the return trip home now the skys have cleared. Gonna be a cold couple of days.......

I believe we are expecting sleet/snow over the weekend. Definately gone colder - expecially with the wind chill factor.

Oh .. and I have Friday legs AND it's a head wind

Yep, our local weather here darn sarf have been warning about it coming for a few days .. apparently from a high of 14C yesterday, we're going to struggle to 8 or so today and then not get above 3C tomorrow, with a probable -3 overnight into Sunday. Which is darn chilly for us shandy drinkers I can tell yah.

I added an extra layer for the ride in and made sure I had my long trousers on hand for going home with. It was proper blowy on the way in as well, an annoying headwind-but-coming-from-about-45-degrees-to-the-left so it was moving me about quite a bit. Still, wind will be behind me going home ..

A but nippier this morning and I did notice the chuffing strong head wind on the way in this morning. Looks like it has not changed so looking forward to the ride home

Im back Sunday night and it's gonna hurt.

No Friday legs this week

I had friday legs,my shirt was soaked with sweat,my anticipation and road positioning were well out,(made it difficult in heavy manic traffic)I was really dehydrated.It's been a learning curve here.

It didn't feel too cold this morning but when I went out a lunch time the temp had definately dropped.

 

[J4CKO]

Wasnt bothered about the cold, just the fecking annoying headwind I had in both directions, cold and still is fantastic, bring it on !

 

[fossyant]

Don't mind the cold - I have the kit, but planning the clothing, before pulling out the thermal top - that will be out this weekend... gosh I love modern clothing technology......I remember the days going out in 4-5 layers, then getting damp or cold.

Now - sub zero in a base layer and 1 x thermal top, unzip to vent - warm and toasty.... bibs that have windproof patches over the knee and thigh...oh fabtastic....

 

[Will1985]

Ouch - my lungs are still hurting from 2 hours ago it was so cold! The wind in Brum wasn't too good either and even Open Pros felt twitchy in crosswinds.

 

[BentMikey]

Yeah, I think I'll be utterly freezing tomorrow, working in the park. It's ok being toasty whilst riding, but when I stop and begin teaching on my skates, I'm putting out far less wattage. Time to take extra warm kit and put the windproofs on when I get there, methinks.

Weather's definitely turned here. I had a headwind and sleet going home tonight
