FNRttC Friday Night Ride to the Coast Brighton 9th May

.

It's looking a bit hypothermia-central.
Isn't it?

No signs of snow yet though ....

 

[User10571]

Although, bizzarely, I saw two gritter lorries out on our roads only yesterday.

They're only out to make the penguins feel at home.

 

[Flying Dodo]

I have, in the last few minutes, reviewed the weather forecast information.

It's looking a bit hypothermia-central.
Isn't it?

So I was wrong in my earlier brief summation of it being warm rain?

Dang.

 

[hatler]

Good luck, have fun. May there be no deflations.

Joe and I won't be there tonight.

I was planning to dress for warm rain. Do I need to rethink?

I think it'll be fine.
Most readers responses will, I suspect, be referencing the headwind.... rather than the rain....

The norwegins of weatherspark predict warmish drizzle at Haywards Heath between the hours of midnight and 10h00.

Nah, 10C minimum, that's positively balmy ....

 

[Fab Foodie]

I'm not cleaning the bike, but I will clean / lube the chain when I get home.

Mightily lubed-up here ... (the chain that is ....).

10C air temp at 15mph supposedly equates to 2C with windchill. Plus wet and visitations might take things to the realm of slightly uncomfortable.

The last time I looked, my character was comprehensively built.
A while ago.

15mph...... Ever the optimist @Zee

Oh. I'm on the train, my wardrobe having been settled, for good or ill, before work this morning. No overshoes might count as "ill", and three-quarters are seeming less clever than they seemed at 8am. The only thing I can file under "good" is that I reproofed my jacket last night. And as you know, I am not accustomed to headwinds.

Quite. Character is currently overbuilt. I blame home cooking.

TC- I have a pair of toe covers which might be as useful as a chocolate fireguard in a downpour but might keep the wind off and trap some warmth depending on how holey your shoes currently are.

Taking advantage of being temporarily unemployed, I thought I might have a nap before tonight's ride, something I've never managed on past FNRttCs due to having to continue selling my time in six minute units five days a week. But oh no, I decided a better way to prepare for the ride would be to spend the afternoon smashing up the concrete slab in our front garden.

And now I must drive down to sunny Petts Wood (well, it was very sunny at 7pm) and collect an offsprung from band practice. I have checked the timings and I am glad to see that I do not need to collect said offsprung while dressed in night cycling attire. That would be SO EMBARRASSING Dad.

Very much looking forward to seeking peeps at HPC later on.
