How warm?

Kieran_Burns

06:30 this morning my external thermometer showed 16.4 degrees celsius :shock: It was on the shaded side of the house, so gawd knows what it was in the sun

By the time 06:45 came 'round I was at the bridleway and a sweaty bag of crap.

Flaming hell - that was a warm morning commute! 8)

It was close to perfect this morning coming in from SE London
Sunny, warm, no wind, and almost no traffic on the A200. is it school holidays or something?

Gazzaputt

Yep lovely today. No wind, cloud cover and warm.

Indeed - I was trying to work out where the noisy wind was coming from, then glanced across at some flags and realised that they were completely limp

This would explain the higher average speed this morning (and hence the noisy wind )

...and here's me thinking my new "aero" positioning was working wonders....

Fantastic conditions today - sun cream may be needed on the way in soon!

I had to take my arm warmers off halfway this morning - what a fantastic invention I saw a bloke in town with a fluo winter jacket on - :shock:

Quite a few of those around in old laandan town, too. Most of them almost, but not quite, completely unzipped and acting as parachutes. Engage brain people!

This particular SB operates year round when running, cycling 'enhances' SB properties :roll:

Sorry Kieran

Kieran_Burns

Sod warm. It's bleeding boiling out there!

Just got back from a short walk to Sainsburys and my shirt is sopping wet :oops:

Good news, glorious sunshine
Bad news - the wind has picked up
GREAT news - it's a TAIL wind! Woohoo! 8)


I may have to extend the commute home tonight. Weather like this has to be appreciated.

Anyone been out for a lunchtime ride? Looks lovely, and I'm stuck inside a sealed aircon office

Thank your luck stars you've got aircon - I've been weiging down the hge mounds of paper on my desk this morning so I can have a fan on, and it's noisy by the main road, bloomin emergency services, they could be a bit quieter about it :?

Location: Cannock Chase
Weather Conditions: Blazing sunshine:
Prawny Status: Smug Git


I hate you.


(there's a hill on the Chase I used to regularly get 50+ down.. on the way down into Rugeley. I always enjoyed the look on peoples faces as I kept up with them)

I should change my location for during the day.

Location: Under a pile of paper in a minging office with no aircon in the centre of brum.
Weather conditions: too hot
Status: sweaty.

I think me and whyamihere might have been down that last night. Is it the one from the top of the cross roads down into brereton? 41.7mph scrubbing the brakes all the way down :shock:

rinko

Run in today was WARRRRRRM ... thought it was cold as it was a bit windy and looked like it might rain, so had the showerproof top on ... mistake!

It's now tipping it down, but exactly the same temp ... still bright though so hopefully it might clear before the ride home.

Thankfully my window is open and my fan is on full, and it needed to be after comming back from the gym at lunchtime!

i just went out today for a casual 25mile ride, and it was soooooo warm!!!!!!!!!

i came home and couldnt wait to get in the shower which of course i had on cold although it didnt feel as cold as it was as i was so warm!

Can I recommend an indoor/outdoor thermometer, or better yet, a weather station?

I have one, it's fab for choosing what you wear.

got a outside temp whatsit in the garden just open the doors and look though to be honest i very rarely get cold so min does for me, while my wee wife would find the center of the sun, still a bit chilly....

artaxerxes

choosing what you wear

I wear button down shirt and jeans to the office in all four seasons :oops:

Kieran_Burns

That's the one

That was part of my 50 mile circuit when I was a Student at Stafford. I had a self built 'racer' with a 53 / 11 top gear. I would start winding up at the cross roads and be hitting 40 at the TOP of the hill.

I'd be praying that no one would do anything silly while tearing down and always tried to spin out in my top gear - which with that GI is a bloody silly thing to do

Got one - that's how I knew the temp this morning. More useful in winter when you are trying to work out how many layers to wear

Oddjob62

I wear shorts and tshirt all year round. Only extra I wear in winter is a buff and hi-vis vest (due to the dark mornings and evening)

That is true... I find it predicts rain/no rain quite accurately as well, which is useful.

Or, there's always:

When I said how warm - I wasn't expecting THIS:




This was when I got home and showered - popped into the office and that greeted me! :shock:

We might be married to the same woman. :shock:

As for "how warm," this is also known as "too warm" for me. I hate it when it gets over about 20 Celsius. I get hot and irritable, my office gets like an oven, and I find it hard to sleep at night because I'm sweating and sticking to the bed.

Roll on winter.

deffler

Scorchio. Was 19degrees when I left @6.30am this morning, 9 miles later thought I was going to pass out when I got to the office.
