Who stole the warm?

Kieran_Burns

What the hell???? :shock:

I had ICE.

Get that: ICE forming ON me this morning.

My brake levers were iced up, my BRAKES were iced up. My legs had a coating and I was fecking FREEZING! (completely misjudged the weather and didn't wear my overshoes with road shoes)

Friday, I was cruising in glorious sunshine in just my shorts. This morning I can barely see a damn thing for the fog and ICE.

DId I mention the ICE?

The amount of cars looming out the of the fog with no lights on, and the numpties with the postcard sized hole in the ice on the windscreen....

I almost bottled it because of these guys, not because of the weather. Very scary.

Conversely I was behind a car this morning that had their fog lights on in bright sunshine :roll:

Top tip reminder - Always check the conditions (with wind chill) before dressing!

A bit late for today but maybe for tomorrow and so on?

Shades and full bib tights may seem at odds but a likely scenario first thing at this time of year 8)

I got a bit caught out too this morning - sunny buy chilly in Cov. After rubbing my hands together to warm them up at a set of lights for the 3rd time, I realised that it's effectively an hour earlier than it was when I rode in on Friday, so no surprise it was a bit chillier!

it was bleeding cold here this morning too

it was a proper foggy mixed with sub zero temps

supposedly weather forecast says it will be 14C later

and therein lies the problem: popsicle on the way in, parboiled on the way home.

I love our weather me.

It's always people in silver and white (i.e. "fog" coloured) cars that don't have any lights on when it's foggy too. :evil:

aye it does seem to keep you on your toes

i thought it might be because the clocks went back, so the sun wasnt as high?

The Rookie

Ice on the windscreen this morning, (yes I bottled cycling, but mostly as I'm in the nose running like a tap phase of a cold) and thick fog for half my journey, then bright sunshine for the second half (so no doubt some people wondered why I had fog lights on for the 1/4 mile or so until I decided it was staying clear!) - The whole journey is only 6 miles! - bizzarre!

Layerings the way to go...and a larger rucksack to bring it all back from the office on the way back :?

antlaff

We got rid of our 2nd car at the weekend and then magically i come down with worse case of man flu - couldnt breathe on the commute this morning, but still glad the care is gone!!

Initialised

I'm not the only to wake up with both supplementary air intakes full of snot and realise it wasn't tee-shirt weather a little too late

itboffin

Aye it was a tad chilly this morning, seemed like a slight breeze too but of no fixed direction.

SimonAH

Can you see my wife's feet from your house? Most efficient heat exchanger on the planet, could put a frost on magma.

daviesee

So that's why I was so cold this morning!

Libraio

We (the Dutch) did! I've been sitting on a sunny balcony in my tshirt all afternoon. Rode my bike to chiropractor in a sweatshirt this morning. And just so you are forewarned, we plan on doing so tomorow as well, maybe even better...

I suspect this forum has at times become so negative it bends the normal rules of space and time and sucks the sheer warmth out of the universe at large temporarily pulling in cold northern european winds particularly to make poor burnies bollox freeze to his saddle

Ah Den Haag.

Life is very good there.

Lovely and sunny here in Caversham, but still not as warm as it was in the 3 Valleys last week. It was slush-boarding on the lower slopes and it's the first time I've had to pick grass out of my bindings at the end of a day !

Yes me too, unfeasibly cold & I completely misjudged it. It took me ~10 mins to thaw my hands enough to get changed. Just right on the way home tho

cycling psychologist

I don't know who stole it but they need to bring it back, and they can take away the freezing mist whilst they are at it!!

That's why I have a pannier and windproofs. Comfortable in both directions.
