    I was in shorts this morning, within five minutes i'd warmed up admirably and was toasty warm.

    I've been trying out 3/4 Humvees that I got for my birthday the last couple of mornings & they seem pretty good but will be back to the normal Humvees tomorrow I think. Otherwise its a t-shirt/sweatshirt & summer gloves - still arrived at the office this morning drenched in sweat :?

    A bit of a nip as I left Lee but by the time I was on Lewisham Way I was no longer cold :)
  • SS jersey and shorts this morning. My awesome cap kept the heat in. Fecking headwind though - can piss off back to whence it came.

    Chilly for next few days metcheck tells me.

  • It was warmer this morning, tres confusing. I was frankly too hot, but couldn't be bothered to stop and do anything about it, seeing as it's hair-washing day.

    Yeah, definitely a bit warmer today.

    I'm finding the shorts and long sleeved top combination to be a good one.
    I've added a buff to keep my ears warm.

    you can't imagine how pleased I am that this thread is still rolling along!

    Anyway, still in wimpy shorts + knee warmers get up, but the other day when it was proper cold did see some loon in short shorts (with long socks) - seems to totally miss the point, surely it's thighs and knees that need to be warm?

    It's just a hill. Get over it.

    Thighs, knees and ankles.....another critical joint that is long forgotten. Old ankle injuries are often the cause of later knee issues......

    very important stuff!

    Sometimes parts break. Sometimes you crash. Sometimes it’s your fault.
