Going to be a cold ride home

[gazmercer]

If the Met office forecast is correct it's going to be 2degrees when I leave work at 21:00.

Quick calculation : Me going 14 mph the windchill is something silly like -8 degrees. Feckin' Nora, think I'll have to put on 3 pairs of socks.

6:30! That's a lie in, I set off at 5:30 every morning, get to work at about 6:30. This morning was cold, very windy and wet. Took 10 minutes longer than normal.

They are talking about a ground frost a possible ice tomorrow morning

5:30...what's the worry.The earlier the better I find.Avoids all the grief.
I had a 10AM commute today as im on lates and tommorow my 7th commute on the spin will leave at 12pm.

They are talking about a ground frost a possible ice tomorrow morning.

Good point though.

Freezing fog is always a laugh. By the time I finish my journey my eyebrows and hair's always frozen solid. I then walk around my office with melting hair!

The good thing is it's dried out a little with the wind. If we get a breeze, there may be not too much ice. Hope the gritters are out.

-1.5 here in Biggin Hill this morning. I'm not going anywhere today, mind.

Well, I thought it was cold last night but this morning was even colder. Brrrrr!

I was all toasty though, wrapped up in 3 layers with my wooly hat under my helmet. Was fun riding past all those people who had to de-ice their cars before moving off.

-3 at 04:45 this morning in leafy Warwickshire.

I have some cold weather undies from Canada and a pair of thinsulate wooly gloves.

All OK. No problems. Moderately sweaty when I stripped off for my shower...

Side roads were dicey - walked to main road, put overshoes on and off I set.

Took it easy though. Thermal windproof came out today...hmmm toasty....

Pretty dry fortunately, as the council hadn't gritted any roads on my way in....despite the forecast.
