I'd like to go out...

[Nigelnaturist]

Well all the footballs finished, so I am about to do a cold dusk ride. Doesn't look appealing at all.

tis warmer out at the moment but there are plenty of snow & hale showers as well. enjoy

Well done for going out in the end.
I only ever wear mitts can't wear full finger gloves...just hate the feel of them ( I know I am wierd )

 

[SWSteve]

You big girl

One pair half stop the wind but there is no grip(they are woolen) and the pair which allow you get some purchase are rubbish at being gloves.

 

[boybiker]

but it's absolutely freezing! It's dry and I do have winter kit (gloves, merino, buff, overtights) but I just don't think I'll survive.

Despite having ample insulation, I don't do well with the cold - I was stood at a bus stop the other day with my teeth chattering! I know I'll probably warm up in time and probably end up too hot, but the first 10 minutes of hypothermia worry me

Inspire me!

Don't let any limiting beliefs stop you from going out and cycling!

 

[vickster]

Nothing to do with limiting beliefs - it's the cold weather

Rule 5
modified ...GTFU
No idea of the temperature here this morning ,i do know the puddles at the side of the road were iced over, i had a compression base layer,winter jersey and a gilet and i did not sweat a lot .Nice biting wind with a few flakes of snow so i did chicken out on the reliability club run and just did my 24 mile loop .Only my feet and hand were cold even with 2 pairs of gloves ,thick socks and overshoes but not cold enough to be a problem.

Ended up being "a man" and did a 40 miles. Bib shorts, SS jersey and a wind jacket. If you are getting cold, you are not riding hard enough.

only my hands and feet and as posted on other threads i suffer with them anyway so i can be sweating and still be in pain., thumb joints currently swollen as well and i am not sure if the cold has set them off.

Yeah, my feet where very cold by the end. But I didn't have any overshoes on. My hands where fine, but I was wearing sealskinz gloves.

I am to - to wimpy- to go out. I could, but it would be no fun and I'm not being paid for it.
stick to me turbo till it warms up.
which I hope will be by early march as I've got my first 60mile+ ride planned for then.

 

[vickster]

Early March is this week coming...not got much time to MTFU

You don't want much over the next week huh

 

[themosquitoking]

Funny that, I saw quite a few, and a friendly lot for a change almost everyone said hi, not that there are many that dont around here, just seemed a higher proportion, maybe the weather had something to do with it.
Only thing that got cold was my toes.

I was surprised how few i saw, mainly because i was riding towards Richmond Park and there's always a few going there on a Sunday.
