Left home at 0655, in golden sunshine!!!

However by the time I'd got to work I'd lost all sensation in my fingertips. The canal had frozen over.

My "wonderful" Specialized neoprene gloves have failed me.

    You're cycling ontop of a canal, wearing a wetsuit???

    By the time I got to work the top on my drinks bottle had frozen solid... :?

    Bargain £10 Aldi gloves kept my fingers toasty.... :D

    Warrington, but you don't want to live there, it's full of scum (but suppose London is worse).

    Still totally blue skies here now, but still bloody freezing.

    My Gore-Mistral II gloves totally gave up on me. Could barely brake at the end as my fingers were so painful. Totally could not feel the gear lever. Hope it's a bit warmer going home.
  • It took my hands ages to warm up and I had silk liners on under my ordinary gloves. But then my GP has commented before on the shade of my nails and said my circulation wasn't good for someone my age...!

    There is Golden Sunshine in London too, still pretty cold though.

    Looks like another cold morning, time for two pairs of gloves.

    What a gorgeous ride in this morning...

    Slight mist on the fields and the sun bursting up over the hills, fantastic start to the day...

    Pictures don't show me as a great photographer, but didn't fancy hanging around too long outside.
