    Still shorts baby yeah!

    Although technically they're 3/4 length, so cover the knees quite nicely. I also don't own anything else suitable. I have however, taken to sometimes doing up my waterproof fluoro instead of leaving it undone.

    Managed to catch the bottom of the leg of my waterproof trews in the bottle cage this morning with much weaving and hilarity (not) as I attempt to stay upright in hideous cross wind whilst extricating myself.

    But still in shorts underneth.....

    Shorts and knee warmers for me - not quite windy enough to feel the need for anything heavier on the legs
    Pain hurts much less if its topped off with beating your mates to top of a climb.

    +1 though today it was bibshorts cause of the rain, normally it's Altura baggies and kneewarmers if the temperature demands them.
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    It's not cold, it's cold, it's warm, but not warm enough to be warm, but cold enough to be cold, but it's wet and windy, so it feels cold. WTF is up with the weather?

    I was briefly in shorts last week (unheard of for me at this time of year). Back in 3.4 tights and bib shorts now.

    Still in baggy shorts and one layer up top. Never wear waterproofs - my commute isn't long enough to bother with all that! Base layer if it gets down to around freezing...
    Still breathing.....

    Cheap Tracky B's for my commute, and almost everything else for that matter, don't like cold legs, and I don't do tights :wink:

    Yeah, seriously. The temperature seems to have been all over the shop the past few weeks.
    I've settled on shorts + long sleeved top as a happy medium for now.

    Over-dressed this morning. Was a sweaty mess when I got to work partly due to too many layers, partly due to the last three miles riding straight into the headwind. Leaves blowing into my face for the whole way. Not fun.

    Was walking to the supermarket earlier and saw a chap in Castelli body paint shorts. His legs were red. Red, I tell you! Leg-warmers are good, m'kay, cuz warmers are good

    Still shorts... knees were feeling it though, as were hands despite 2 glove layers. Need to get perfect glove system, not got it yet.

    -4C this morning and plenty of frozen leaves at the side of the roads. Took it easy, as didn't want another "off".

    0C and it's still shorts weather. Might need some knee pads soon.
    I used to just ride my bike to work but now I find myself going out looking for bigger and bigger hills.

    Still rocking the 3/4 length Endura Humvees. Still, if it gets much colder I might have to do my jacket up all the way to top. And find where on earth I put my buff...

    Still in shorts. Legs weren't that cold this morning, but a baselayer on top (under jersey and light jacket) would have been nice.

    Thinking of getting some 3/4 longs, but would I look stupid?
