    Assos Airblock Jacket and base layer ... fantastico.

    30 miles this morning ... temperature was around 6 degrees .... luverly and warm :D

    Only thing I did notice was that when I got home and took all the gear off, that the base layer was a LOT more damp (sweatier ... sorry) than normal. I guess this means that not so much of the moisture was getting to the outside?

    However I only noticed this after I got home and I was warm the whole time which was the main point :D

    With regard to the dribbles .... sniff a lot :D not much else you can do ... :wink:

    It's great to be .....

    How do people stop the dribbles in this cold? I've been out a few times and have constantly been wiping my nose. :lol:

    It was sooooo windy out today that the snot was dripping out and the wind was whipping it back onto my face - nice. I was on quiet country lanes so I just blew my nose out onto the road. Initially, I wouldn't have done this in a million years and actually swallowed a fly in the village rather than spit it out. I don't have any such reservations these days :oops:

    You don't.

    You either get silver stripes on your gloves or you learn to blow it out one nostril at a time to the side.

    Glad you like it PJH. Got mine out today for the first time this winter (yes, yes, OK, so I haven't been out much recently :oops: ) and had to have a quick preen in front of the mirror before setting off - they do look the business as well as do the business!

    I don't understand why you didn't start out properly dressed. If you even think it might be a bit cold out why wouldn't you wear toe warmers, gloves, arm warmers, a light shell,
    etc. That kind of stuff. Most things like that you can remove if it gets too warm and stuff
    in a rear pocket. You can always take things off but if you don't have them in the first place, well, you have never learned the first rule of the Boy Scouts - Be Prepared.
