Multi use cycling attire!

[Dogtrousers]

WFH my right hand has been suffering cold of late and typing became difficult. I couldn’t work out why because left hand was fine. Then light bulb moment 💡Left rests on laptop keyboard (warm) whilst right is on the mouse (I.e. cold desk) which saps heat out of it. Cycling mitts now being put to secondary use.

Use the laptop touchpad. Free heating!

Those gloves remind me of something. Light a candle and place it at the side of your keyboard. Once in a while, whilst looking ever so grumpy, utter the words "bah humbug" to your colleagues as they're walking past your desk. Lol.

I was thinking of this guy:

Back to the running, as stated, before l bought specific clothing/joined a running club, l wore my club jerseys
Which, slightly pleasingly annoyed some of the club members
(didn’t rejoin it well before covid, but pay my BCF every year as a private member)

The Trunce
A 4 mile ‘out & back’, which was fairly tough in parts
Certainly a walk, at one part, as there were ‘steps’

Not sure if Auld Lang Syne, or Stanbury Splash?
Penistone Hill (Haworth) & back

Notice you never see any runners smiling like people on bikes do.

Oh, l did!
Especially when running in the rain, or snow

Isn't it funny how memory plays tricks on us?

I ride a recumbent and my clothing is hill walking / mountaineering or running gear. I don’t run but do the hill walking / mountaineering bit. Recently done a refresh but my gear certainly gets a life of at least 20 years, just retiring a smock bought in 2003.

Seriously, I smiled then, but rarely in the sun/dry days

I thought I was being rebellious and cool by wearing a Baracuta jacket for cycling, until Hover Fly showed me a 1939 copy of Cycling with an advertisement for Baracuta jackets.

The bottom line here is--------------wear what you like. DO NOT pay any attention to what anyone, including the "real cyclist" dictate you should wear.

Strange thread this but I bet it resonates with outdoorsy types.

I'm just starting getting back into angling after a couple of decades of inactivity. Needless to say I no longer have all my old go to angling thermals which I used to rely on to keep warm back in the day.

Lightbulb moment! Why don't I layer up with my cycling gear. I went fishing yesterday with my cycling base layers, skull cap under my hat, leg warmers under my pants and cycling socks! And over the coming cooler months my thermal cycling gloves will come in handy too!

Who knows, I might even start taking my bike with me. Then if the fish aren't biting I can go for a ride!! Lol.

I worked 47 years in a suit white shirt and a tie, as a computer tech. Now that I am retired, especially in the summer my attire is simply a T-shirt, and rugby shorts. Rugby shorts are simply short sweat pants. So since I ride bents and trikes, all I have to do is put on my cycling shoes, and off I go.

If you bike or run, you have to use that special tooth paste made for them-------------it is called Bugout!!!!
