So we're having a heat wave at the moment, temperature hit over 10 degrees in Manchester today, I was suffering from heat exhaustion.

Did not make the most of the heat wave by getting ont bike as was flat searching.

    19 degC here today in Norfolk with no windchill...conditions that have actually been forecast accurately since Wed which is why seeing some cyclists in long dark bibtights and long sleeve jerseys baffled me, they must have been sweating buckets and clearly don't believe in weather forecasting.

    I'm wearing my arm warmers and long bibs until it's at least 23 degrees.

    I don't think my chances would be even better if I walked into town and into a bar with just my shorts and a jersey on as opposed to bibs and arm warmers now do you?

    Are you telling me if I walk into Lloyds bar in the Printworks naked I'd pull all the girls.

    Wait a minute, I'm seeing a pattern here.

    If I remove my clothes so I'm naked, then remove my skin, does that mean the girls are going to flock to me like wolves?
