Woke up early so off for a run to retrieve the stuff I left on the top of a hill yesterday.
Which will be interesting as I've got a stinking cold still.

The sky was clear so plenty of stars out at the start, then the sun was just starting to come up so it was a nice time to be out.
I thought if I went early there wouldn't be any groups of townie [email protected] up Moel Famau, how wrong I was
today is hat day then run away as fast as I can so I don't have to be sociable
War, army, navy, military etc all silly and dangerous.
Foggy, foggy, foggy. Will go pedal.
You could tell people you're waiting for the result, good way to get them to keep away.
not dangerous me for me - i'm bulletproof.
Couldn't get through the village as the rememberance parade had just ended and everyone was stood in the road.
Lunch.
Fire is burning away.
Wine later.
on the bright side, berry bros have a deal on bolly at the moment, and say upcoming crimbo festivities in the shop will include dispensing the king's ginger and a mince pie to all who venture in, perfect after a nippy stroll through the park
The hat is skew-whiff
I had an imaginary cycling partner in 'Loon. I dragged him up a continuous series of bumps and hills into drizzle, fog and wind all the time thinking "you're gonna have to shift some of that weight and toughen up if you want to move back to Jockland". He did a lot of moaning and groaning.
On the upside, tested my new DHB winter tights.
Pad is a bit on the adult nappy size but they held up really well.
Just back and refueled from ride. 3.5h, 17km, -88m vertical climbing, 280w average. Caveat: some of the above may or may not be accurate.
When got into 3rd hour, legs started to work better, might have been the gel 'n' banana eats, so return leg was a lot faster. Don't think there was a tail wind, is all a bit gloopy grey out.
When is opening time barman?
These are the one's I bought so as not to confuse them with the others:

I think they are much better VFM (and a better fit) than my Castelli equivalent (Tutto nano).
If you run hot, I reckon they would only be for use in very cold weather but I run cold so they are great for me in 4 to 10 deg temps.
For reference, I used my deep winter soft shell today with a thin poly prop base layer and was fine so suspect they will be OK for me.
I find DHB to be pretty good with sizing as well, ie I don't need a XXXXXXXXXL jacket like I would in Castelli.
But my Perfetto tops are fine in my size and the Alpha jacket, I couldn't get on with though the Espresso (same size) is fine.
I have the DHB full winter jacket. It's the most versatile jacket I have only I wish it had a front zipper pocket.
Day of pottering has been had. Lad was making some shelves so I said I'd stick around to help and advise if needed. Not much needed other than occasional reassurance or guidance if unsure. I had time to fettle bikes whilst being around if needed.
How do all the MFs fit under the one hat?
