Warning - nationwide thieves about

[ufkacbln]

I decided to choose this week to cycle from St Ives near Cambridge to Portsmouth revisiting a few old haunts on the way. .... It is an "age" thing

After being caught in a few " mini-blizzards" today, very cold feet and hands , I am seriously thinking of catching a train and spending a couple of tourist type days instead

Having said that the Endura Stealth Extreme have kept all the important parts warm and comfortable

Has any one ever tried this as a chatup line....

I am a cyclist and have lost all feeling in a certain area and wondered if you would warm them for me

Of course this may be one of those situations where a full face helmet and body armour would be effective

 

[jonny jeez]

Yes, but REALLY looking forward to my ride home tonight. Might arrive back before I leave!

Chapeau!

I live in Milton Keynes, and if you choose your route wisely, I reckon you'll be blown most of the way

It doesn't count unless you get blown the whole way

The wind almost stopped me coming home from work, was on the fixie and normally i would take a run at the slight hill coming home, but the wind stopped me getting any speed up, so really struggled tonight. if this wind carries on i might have to change my gearing.

Timed the commute into work at 6:39. I could no longer feel my face about four minutes into that.

Won't that mean you have to repeat your commute? That's a bonus: you get to enjoy more cycling. Although it might mean you have to work the same day twice .

On a related note: the weather here in Melbourne is just about to cool down: today will be the 10th day in a row with maximum temperature over 30°C (and 4 of these were over 35°C). When the cool change comes in, the temperatures over the next few days will drop to a much more reasonable low-20s. Am eagerly anticipating that. If I get rained on while commuting, it really will be the highlight of my week!

Chapeau!

Hmm, not actually that quick. I was rather cautious due to snow and ice around.

 

[SomethingLikeThat]

I'm considering buying a balaclava and wearing that out on rides if this keeps up.

Hardcore. I had iced sweat gathering on the peak of my cap last night.

 

[BrumJim]

Passed a bloke last night cycling in shorts. No tights, just shorts on his legs.

And I thought I was hardcore in my merino top and hi-vi jacket. (plus trousers).

......as the Archbishop said to the actress.

 

[I like Skol]

Leaving the house this morning at 5.45 I did question my sanity and when arriving at work to find a completely empty cycle shed removed any doubt. I must be bonkers!

EDIT: My chipolata was exactly where I left it

Interesting... because as well as thieving my plums this morning, he actually replaced my salami with a chipolata.

I fear that if I don't find my salami before it's time to ride home again, once there I may find that the chipolata has been swiped and replaced with a button mushroom
