Mis-judging Cyclewear!

And I find a North wind will take the temp down a few degrees... but a south one will take it up slightly or just not make a difference

Honest... i think the Met office should employ cyclists! we are like human barometers. ha ha

It's the annual macho-fest !

For myself, I prefer comfort. It's a tough time of year. I'm working mid afternoon to late night. So it's been shirt (unzipped on the hills) and shorts on the way in. I've started bringing in leg warmers and my Aldi rain jacket for the trip home. It's not so much the temp (around 10C), but the wind chill that gets me. I keep forgetting that long finger gloves for the trip home would be a boon.

There'll come a point in a month or so when tights and a jacket both ways will be comfortable. But until then, it's mix and match for me.

The only time I've seen one of these supermen in real life was a couple of autumns ago. I got caught in the worst hail storm I've ever seen, I was getting welts on my legs through my Rainleg and ditto arms through jacket. I was feeling really sorry for myself.

When I turned the last corner before the steep hill down to my village, I was met with the sight of a young lad on a mountain bike wearing cargo shorts and a t-shirt... the little divil was whistling as he waved at me as we passed!

I record in a chart exactly what I have worn on a ride, all items of clothing are listed individually, I also record what the minimum and maximum temperature was, also the wind speed max..

And its now time to dig out my chart from last year as the days are beginning to get cooler.

Ee, those winter evenings must fly by in Beverley.

Not really a problem here.
