Minus 4 today. Respect to the real commuters!

That must make me a real commuter then.

Must make me a nutter then, done many training cycling runs at wind chill or real temp of -4C.

I haven't found it a problem this year TBH as I have been better wrapped up for the coldish commutes.

I've found it's only the first mile or so that's a problem,soon warm up after that.
Thick woolly socks,aldi winter gloves,and a buff to protect ears and neck from wind chill really help too.

Looks like a cold week coming up again too.

Thankfully where I've spent the last few winters has not been very cold, but even when I was in Northern China, with temps on some days as low as minus 17 deg C, I could keep the body warm with clothes and excercise. However when the temps get close to zero I can never keep the feet and hands warm and that is the thing that makes me curtail the rides!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Blimey it's really cold today - Very icy wind. Going ot have to put my showerproof jacket on too this evening.

Over-trousers on this morning for warmth rather than water.

However, going to have fun riding home tonight - chain oiled yesterday, tyres pumped up, and wind behind me. Time to chase buses down the Pershore Road, methinks!!

Very icy in Dorridge this morning, it'll soon be spring !!
