fed up with winter

[Roseland triker]

Pasties, surfer dudes, VW vans, crazy traffic, and they speak foreign.
Think I'll suffer the wind and rain, thanks!
Actually, I did quite like that area when I went to Land's End a few years ago (by motorbike ). Overnight stays in Bude and Looe. Both very nice. But I reckon if I hadn't been on a motorbike and therefore able to filter past the traffic, I would still be there sitting in a traffic jam .

I don't do ques
It's all about timing here, don't really encounter traffic
The surfers are contained in one area and the real food is amazing.
Just avoid pasties and Newquay lol.

The winter weather this week looks exceptionally good for using the indoor rollers in the garage.

You are not in this part of the world. I'm off on my turbo shortly. Tomorrow looks like it's not falling out of the sky as much, but I've no doubt the canal will be a bog.

I’m not though I was born and spent my childhood up your way. I’m more than familiar with what it’s like your way, though winters were colder in the 60/70/80s. As for rain, well skin is waterproof

The Winters were colder, but the pies tasted better, swings and roundabouts.

Meat and ‘tata with mushy peas, chips and gravy. Perfect.

The swings and roundabouts we’re better in the 70s as well. I find them too small now.

I've defo lost my cycling mojo this year. Last year got off to a flying start, but i'm holding back. I think I know why, I just can't bring myself to admit it

You need a new bike is why

I barely rode at all last winter due to ankle and then knee surgey…as of today I’m at 374 miles for 2022 and need to do a bike based errand after work. I did have to cycle 4 miles home into a 17mph headwind yesterday which was bloody awful, my already grumpy back was killing me!

Edit: no bike based errand as it's now pi$$ing it down

4F'ing degrees this morning but 60F on Thursday?

Sounds about as schizophrenic as most Americans.
Get a turbo trainer and watch TV indoors until summer
