-2c in Swindon this morning, the few cyclists I saw were well wrapped up including me, although not quite cold enough for my baselayer tights to be used.
 
-2.5C when I set out. I saw only 2 cyclists the entire way, but one of them was in shorts. He went past me and through a red light where I was waiting at a busy roundabout. Possibly the attire and the haste were connected?

Merino baselayer, shirt, jacket.
Winter tights and boots, with skull cap and buff to keep my head and face warm.

Its much colder at 5am than when you lightweights set off :tongue:

Nice frost this morning, 3rd in a row. Took it easy as took the road bike this morning. Slippy in places. -2 according to met office but it felt colder. I was well wrapped up though!

Don't know how cold it was in North Bristol today but I forgot my second pair of socks, so the wind whistled up round my ankles, and I had very cold feet too !

Thankfully it was just 8 miles and I have a hot shower when I get to work.

-11 here this morning. Merino wool vest, socks, glove liners and long johns did the job though. Bit skiddy in places on the road bike, but generally OK (providing lines and manhole covers are avoided).
