I have just talking to my son in Taiwan. It is 23 degrees there at the moment and they all say it is cold as they are used to temperatures over 30 degrees.

Managed to get my hairy legs out 1wk ago, for this evenings ride will be back to longs again, temp has dropped 10º since last week and it some how feels colder that it did in the depths of winter, my head is just all mixed up and my heart wants to just put on short bib and jersey

Cleared snow off the drive twice this week already but it is getting a tad warmer, may even hit 9º today

I foolishly swapped around all my winter kit to spring/summer about 10 days ago, so need to start digging out warmer things again

I bet the Thames is warmer than the English Channel off Deal beach!

It is indeed warmer, but has fewer turds floating in it.

I'm all for taking the mick out of @Fab Foodie ..... but I wouldn't go as far as calling him that

Just thunk, we're barely 11 weeks out from the Summer Solstice, then it's downhill to winter!

You just have to go and spoil things don't ya.

I know I'm a weather lightweight - 7 years in California wrecked me forever - but I'm so tired of doing sport outside and being cold.I did a wonderful 30-miler yesterday in the Cotswolds but just really didn't enjoy it much as I was so cold. I ran this morning with a friend...and was cold. I'm tired of wrapping up and layering up, tired of finding my gloves. Tired of being shivery when I finish exercising. I've been cold since October and I'm ready to be warm again.

I want to run and ride my bike in shorts and a sleeveless top and get mild sunburn on my shoulders and have to drink ice-cold diet cokes, and then sit in the garden with an aperol watching the cats sprawled in the sunshine.

Come. On. Summer

Moan over. Sorry. Thanks for indulging me.

Yes..... Better be ready for summer, the season usually lasts 36hrs and ends with a thunderstorm.

That's no way to refer to the Henley boat club.

Yeah ..cmon , bring on the summer it's my favourite day of the year..

The husband and I had planned a short hike today! We dropped the boy off at football camp, looked at each other and are going home to spend the day watching TV in bed with the electric blanket on. Duvet day.

Way too much information

Charly Gaul, Giro d'Italia 1956, sunny Italy…

100% with you on that ^^^ not to mention the extra time it takes to get ready, all those layers and still cold then too hot the minute you starting climbing.

Add to that the fact that it's snowed twice this week

I just checked and i've ridden all except 5 days so far this year and those we're the really wet and windy days, mind you i can count on one hand the number of days so far this year where the wind hasnt been double digits mph.
