Motivation in the chill!

[Mrs M]

How do you all manage, if you do? to find the get up and go on a chilly weekend morning when all you want to do is snuggle in, read the papers, munch on a nice brekky then "footer about", lol, for the rest of the day?
Forecast for tomorrow up here not the best!

Easy: work weekends, like I do, don't have a car, waiting ages for the bus feels way colder than cycling

I enjoy winter riding more than summer cycling; can't wait til it turns cold, wet and icy

Own the right clothes- if you have the right kit that you can easily adjust for the conditions you shouldn't struggle- or cheat and move south, tomorrow afternoon is 14 degrees and sunny, bib shorts, short sleeve jersey and quality base layer and off you go.

I think of the positives, I often do not enjoy the ride, I have though done enough of them to know I like the feeling afterwards.

I agree on this one @Pat "5mph" not only colder waiting but you never seem to get "warm" once you are on the bus(or so I found out last year on the only occasion I tried it) so @Mrs M having no car is all the motivation we have ! so it's either bus or bike ? no contest it just as to be !!!!

Brr!!

Brr!!

I used to love riding in your neck of the woods in winter, always good riding to be had - now that I have moved southwards to the Borders it's all a bit soft

For commuting it's easy, it's just part of routine, I don't give myself that option and do it, usually finding it isn't as bad as I thought.

Non commuting journeys are much harder, it's far easier to let the lazy side of my brain whisper about staying nice and cosy inside. I need more of a purpose to get out!
