Helmet
Bolle Viper safety glasses (clear lens)
Buff
Massive grin
Crane Sports LS compression base layer
Cycle Show full zip LS jersey
Decathlon windproof softshell
Polaris 3/4 tights
adidas lined(why is adidas always written without a capital a?) tracksuit bottoms

Toasty for -2. Have to unzip the LS jersey halfway about halfway into my commute.

When I get into the office I change into my workwear but keep the massive grin (now with extra smugness).

Yesterday I was in bibtights, sheepskin boots, fleece socks, dress, fleece and a waxed jacket. Oh and some gloves.

That's quite a <ahem> look.

Be prepared for frozen gears/cables! Seems to strike my old Kona about -8C. I actually wonder whether bringing it in to thaw after the first ride causes the problem. Anyhow - OT - sorry.

Haute couture, daaaaaaaaaaaaahling.

The kayaking lot were most amused. I wore my kayaking gimp hat home from the pool, and very good it was too!

Kind of Country Life meets Procycling, I imagine. I don't know of a relevant magazine that would apply to the gimp hat, I'm afraid.

was thinking I might need to ditch the fleece on all but minus temperatures as I tend to vent the jacket significantly

Toasty, if not somewhat poncy.

What? Surely this is a typo, no?

Sadly not, the Castelli L/S is in the wash :roll: . The DHB is 4 years old now but still lovely and cosy.

So, does the combined value of your clothing (excl. watch) exceed the value of your bike?

Erk, it may well do. :shock:

Think you could be right on the temperature, had the free hub on my bike freeze at around minus 5 last year....decided this year to try and avoid the risk by keeping it as dry as possible. Haven't washed the bike this week to try and avoid getting water anywhere near the internals.

Certainly windproof and waterproof, though. Where are you wearing the pipe?

What's more disturbing the image or the FACT that I might actually own such an outfit ?

rjsterry

Didn't someone post a picture a while back of a well known pro cyclist wearing something remarkably similar to what you describe. In fact it may have been JG who posted it...


Ah, here we are.

hambones

Long sleeve thin base layer
Long sleeve top
Shorts
Knee warmers
2 pairs of socks

Result? far too hot! I can't believe it was -5 this morning.
