Not warm enough yet to forego the gloves

[NigC]

I checked the weather report just before leaving this-morning (5:45ish) and it looked pretty promising. So I thought "no need for the gloves today" ......... oops - 22 minutes later I find it very difficult to find the office door key with numb fingers

Note to self: Gloves ARE needed in the mornings!!!

I use my winter gloves in the morning, I set off at about 6:30 and use my summer gloves to go home at around 4:00

I have skiing gloves, which have been a godsend over the winter Probably should invest in something more sensible for the bike.

But strangely, I've stopped wearing gloves for the 90 minute walk. I've noticed that after 20-25 minutes, even when it's really cold, the hands warm up nicely and gloves are totally unnecessary - I arrive with nice warm, non-sweaty hands and don't have any numbness Shame the bike ride is 20-25 minutes.

But it's lovely today. I had fingerless on but didn't need them for warmth.
Mind you, I didn't leave the house at 5.45.

Ha! I was wearing fingerless gloves even during the winter. I have fairly good circulation though, so they warm up after about 5 mins of cycling.

Weirdly I found that wearing winter gloves made my hands feel colder!

Just started wearing my fingerless gloves again this week,and my legs have made an appearance too short sleeved shirt and gilet on top.
