fed up with winter

[gavroche]

I like all seasons. They all have their charm but I do prefer cold, crisp winters rather than wet and damp. We are just over 3 weeks into winter yet so still a while to go but spring is on the way.

I feel ya. I like a winter night ride but I've had enough of them by now. I'm happy to return to long evenings and a wee bit of warmth. Saying that, come June I'm dying for a pitch black night cycle.

Before C, I used to go to Tenerife for a week mid winter. So lovely mid 20s blue skies, fantastic riding every day

Every winter I try and tell myself not to let it bother me and embrace it as I have all the gear I need to keep warm and dry, but every year it does get to me

Having been stuck indoors for two months the stunning sunny days we've had over the past week or so are slightly frustrating. I can't understand why everyone isn't going out for long walks or bike rides.

Simple, it's cold. Not bracing, not refreshing, just damned cold. Looks nice, though...

I think some on this thread were either born or have migrated in the wrong climate. Winter riding is great when the black ice risk is low.

We are well on the way to being out of it, so cheer up negative folks.
Embrace the seasons I say.
Winter is an opportunity to do lots of reading, early to bed early to rise etc.
I love crisp winter days.
I've lived somewhere where the weather forecasts very very often show a straight five day jackpot forecast of sun sun sun sun sun - many folks grumble if there's a cloud in the sky/consider it below par/a limit to living.
You're Brits mostly I think - get out and be thankful.

Believe it or not, the sun came out in Denmark today. We were in the woods looking for wolves and wild pigs.

Don’t you just hate winter?

-4 today when heading out, add in fog limiting visibility down to few hundred yards. Unless you enjoy becoming road kill or don't have a car, am not sure why you choose to go out on a pedal bike.

The bigger one is - it doesn't matter if its muscle or blubber- the less surface area you have relative to your volume. End result is difficulty regulating temperature when its hot, and I really don't do heat.

I never was a creature of the Serengeti, and not a big fan of winter murk, but do rejoice on a sunny crisp winter's day.

 

[Oldhippy]

It isn't all doom and gloom on days like today.

I was a bit disappointed when I read the mole killing bit. When I saw "wildlife management" I was thinking about creating spaces to encourage wildlife and managing land for conservation

I'd call Jasper Carrott, he kno s what to do about moles.

 

[presta]

I'd much rather have a cold sunny day than a mild gloomy one.

@grldtnr You'll have to explain that to me. I only vaguely remember Jasper Carrott
