Who is hibernating now?

[gavroche]

The cold weather and high winds are upon us now so my bikes have been cleaned, oiled and put away as I will not use them much now until the weather improves . My spare bike is now set on rollers and that's what I shall be training on for the time being.
Wet roads, dead leaves, salty tarmac is not for me .

Anyone doing the same yet?

 

[screenman]

Nope. I intend to do a lot more miles in the next 5 months than I have in the past 5

 

[Supersuperleeds]

Nope, I ride all year round, though I must admit I was glad I had a lot of work to do today so I couldn't go out, is bitterly cold in Leicester.

 

[ianrauk]

Nope. There's just as much fantastic cycling to be had in the winter months as in the spring/summer.

 

[Drago]

Nope. Best time of year coming up. I shan't be letting my roadcraft and control skills degrade.

 

[marshmella]

Nope, all year commuting here

 

[Bazzer]

Not for me.
Sure there are some sh1t days, but some great ones too. Just like summer really. Just need a bit more insulation.

Cycling skills are for life. A few weeks off the bike won't degrade them. I have always found myself comfortable on a bike, no matter how long a break.

My geared bike has gone into hibernation, my fixed has come out to play, I only intend to stop riding when the weather's too bad for me to get out.

[Insert naughty word here] that. Why I bought winter kit.....

Funny you should say that, I often feel a little less sure after a break.

For how long? 10 minutes?

 

[adamangler]

yes and no.

My only outdoor ride will be on a sunday, either a club run or solo 50 miles or so

The rest of the week (2-3 sessions) will be on the turbo trainer with bkool for company

All year round for me. If it's really stormy or thick ice, I might go for a swim. Lots of layers is the secret.

No, a month's needs a couple of days to get up to full confidence again.

We are though all different.
