Today’s #cycle ride was what I would classify as a true #winter ride. The temperature is just a couple of degrees above freezing. It is actually #snowing but it is not settling, the ground being just wet. I was in two minds whether to go but it was OK as long as I moderated my speed as grip could otherwise be a problem. Usually, it takes me a km or two to warm up but today, my extremities were getting numb quite early on but I decided not to abort my journey.
On parts of my body not covered by waterproof clothing the water eventually got to my skin and the wind really made it feel really bitter. The best feeling after an excursion like today’s is to get out of the soaking clothes and into some dry ones and have a nice cup of tea to star warming up.
