Who is hibernating now?

Winter? It's just a state of mind...
Off Road in snow is great fun

I was out this afternoon. Average temperature 3 degrees as I spent at least half the time over 1000ft up (mainly slogging uphill). Not icy, fairly dry roads, cool but togged up it was fine.

Down at 6m ASL, it was warmer but I got caught out in some icy rain and didn't even have showerproof trousers on, so the joints are a bit stiff now.

Generally, only high winds keep me in (so I'll try to be back home before 2 tomorrow). If it's icy, I'll take the studded tyred MTB or wait for the thaw.

Life's too short to miss cycling!

All year for me when Im home from work. Ice is the only thing I wont venture out in. Fortunately I dont need to commute so its all for pleasure. I prefer steel road bikes for this reason and just oil, lube and protect them

My Mudguards have just come out of hibernation

Not a chance!

So it's only me then? Well, you are all hardened cyclists and you have my deepest respect for risking life and limbs in less than favourable conditions.

1. Yes

2. Why, thank you. Cycling in the winter is such a dangerous pastime, not dissimilar to sitting indoors watching the X Factor.

 

[mjr]

Hell of a lot safer than sitting on the sofa, as long as you've winter gear. Less CVD risk and heck of a lot of less mental anguish from X factor.

I've got about 700 miles to do by the end of the year to get to 6000 target. So no hibernating for me.

A few years ago, but I rode this after I dug it out...

You really are a great big Jessie. (Given that you think my previous comment was aimed at you I thought I'd be as well...)

 

[Accy cyclist]

All year round for me too. Mudguards,more layers,wider tyres,shorter rides. I couldn't contemplate not riding a bike for months!

I love going for a bike ride when the sun is shining on a crisp winters morning.

Not a chance!

What, that's it then? Not even a few miles on a dry cold sunny day?
