Today's weather will mostly be..........

[lardarse rider]

.................Grey.

On days like this, everything seems heavier than it normally is - my legs, my heart, my soul and even the light. There must be some scientific explanation for it but, life seems that little bit duller and less exciting.

Thank Christ it is Friday and I am finishing early to get out into the darkened wilderness on my bike and then going for a curry tonight. Frickin Brilliant.

Sod the weather, let's rock

 

[Panter]

Amen to that

Cold, wet, windy, grey. And it aint gonna get better 'til April!

Ever heard of Seasonal Affective Disorder?

SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) is a type of winter depression that affects an estimated half a million people every Winter between September and April, in particular during December, January and February.

It is caused by a biochemical imbalance in the hypothalamus due to the shortening of daylight hours and the lack of sunlight in winter.

For many people SAD is a seriously disabling illness, preventing them from functioning normally without continuous medical treatment.

For others, it is a mild but debilitating condition causing discomfort but not severe suffering. We call this subsyndromal SAD or 'winter blues.'

What's the best cycling innovation in 'recent' years?

wrong thread

It's quite warm where I am in West Berkshire. I've got all the windows, including the french windows open.
Not even the suggestion of any sun though.
Just makes the pleasures of being outside on your bike a little harder to find.

Is that a line from one of your bands songs Bigfella ?
