Well - that's what it felt like :D

My first day in shorts this year, and a short sleeved top. Not being in multiple layers when setting off and bimbling along the roads was WEIRD.

Gonna pay for that awesome tailwind on the way home though, but I don't care! :D:D

    I know the feeling!! Friday after work I went for a spin. No jacket! Just a top, bibs and thin overtights (Which I didnt need!)

    Only problem was the wind was savage and I picked the wrong direction to do my loop as I was assisted for half way and the last half was horrid with the wind. I usually like to put the effort in fresh and then have some assistance coming back.

    Good though :) Then it rained hard on Saturday :(

    I discarded the Thermo Jacket and thermo jersey for the 2nd time this year!

    Still had bib longs mind (bit fresh at 6 am), but have shorts packed for the return, tailwind assisted, home leg.

    Thermo jacket was discarded a few weeks ago and am now in 3/4 with LS running top; may be shorts by the end of the week. Winter boots have been swapped for MTB shoes. Long finger clothes still, although I suspect these will go during the week.

    Couldn't agree more!!!!

    Welcome home you wet and mild SW, although it won't be long before we're moaning about being wet rather than cold ;)

    First T-shirt ride was Friday - too windy for times, today I set 5 Strava PR's (out of 8 segments on my commute) and felt great.....

    lets hope the wind dies down for later then! :wink:

    I got a failry mild ride in today, should have ditched the legwarmers really. First day I've ridden in without a jacket for a very long time. Lets hope the rain stays away now. :D

    Set off this morning in light weight long sleeve jersery and bib shorts. 20mins in and I wish I'd gone short sleeve jersey. Plus I was awesome this morning. Hope the journey home is just as nice. However, sitting here looking out of a 14th Floor window in docklands it now locks grey dull and miserable, like Watford.
