So I thought, although chilly, it would be perfect cycling weather today. According to the weather forecast... 3mph head wind to work and 5 degrees celcius. 12 degrees celcius coming home and 9mph tail wind.
Yeah right!
More like 20mph head wind to work, wind chill factor bringing temperature down to zero. I was absolutely knackered when I got to work, and only 12.6mph average LOL... that is the pits! Was frozen stiff, couldn't feel my feet! But thankfully, had a tail wind on the way back but it was still freezing. Piping hot bath was called for.
Seriously, if this weather keeps up, I'm seriously considering riding in my thermals and overshoes next time. It's way too cold for May and my knee is playing up because of it. The only consolation is everytime I do it, I'm more skinnier :)

About me
Hi, welcome to my blog. I started riding to work in 2005, then decided to do London to Paris ride for charity in 2007, met some great people, formed a "charity team" with them and haven't looked back since. I've done the Paris ride 3 times now, andplanning on JOGLE at some point, plus if funds allow maybe something more adventurous (the Amazon is currently on the list). I originally started this blog to keep track of training and to let my sponsors see how I was getting on, but now I just post any old crap... all to do with cycling of course (",) and a bit of swimming now.
