I rode down to Croydon from Stevenage this morning at 0700 but with a heated jacket liner and Tucano Urbano muffs on the bike can't say I had any problems.

Did my hour each way commute with no problems. Temperature when I got home was zero but the very ghey heated gloves and jacket are doing their stuff.

i think i will be taking the car to work tomorrow,just been to the shed and the lawn is all crispy.

Foxy · 03-12-08, 22:23

Did a couple of hundred miles. The early hours were a bit nippy, but I was more concerned about whether the track had been gritted. On the upside I've brought someone else's bike home with me, so I get a bit of a lie in tomorrow morning.

Loads of mega accidents today, both in & out of Town. Had m'own wheels twitching but for a cavalier bucaneer like me it's all in a days ride.

I was soft long before that

Still riding to work and back. The neoprene waders are turning out to be an excellent investment.

I was at Cowshill at 4am this morning.

We stopped and turned around when the snow started obliterating our tracks as we left them.

I fell off on some ice on Tuesday morning.

Just lost the front completely.

Last night I had a few twitches on the way home and just thought bollocks to it. It's lovely and warm down here today, but I still brought the car to work - no point owning it if I don't use the bloody thing.

As for feeling the cold though, I find my Klan heated jacket and gloves keep me toasty warm.

base layer, t-shirt, fleece, frank thomas aqua pore jacket, belstaff lined textile trousers, aldi 2-piece waterproofs, socks, neoprene liners, gortex socks, oxtar boots and spada force II gloves.

got to work toasty and dry as a bone

the neoprene liners and army surplus socks are top-notch!
