  • i did have some really good morning rides out last week, but now the snow is here the rollers are getting used.
    Go for the break
    Create a chaingang
    Make sure you don't break your chain

    My lips and nose suffered badly from the wind chill on recent rides. I forgot to put protection on them.

    In these conditions make sure you put loads of vaseline on your lips and around your nose to protect it. If you are out for 2 hrs plus in the wind at these temps your face will thank you for it.

    You're clearly all mental - it's horrible out there! Although I have grown a winter beard which may help.

    I now no longer ride when it is under 5 degrees, I can't afford to be ill and my wife is having chemo, so I must be sure not to give her anything that can harm her.

    During weather like this I try to do 100 miles on the turbo and 50 odd miles on the rollers each week, take discipline but keeps your fitness up.

    hey m8 sry to hear, Hope Your wife gets better very soon.
