I don't mean I'll be sleeping in a cave for the next six months, although it does appeal.
The club have shorter outings and I'm less inclined to go too far on my own. If it's been freezing overnight I'll either be in the garage or going out much later, I never thought about it much before. I have ridden in snow many times, it was fun for a while. The cold sets in quickly and then it's just not nice. And I've slid off too, resulting in just cuts and bruises. This year I have discovered that I no longer bounce.
It's difficult to know what to wear: is it going to rain, how cold is it going to be?
Last weekend I was repeatedly soaked, but warm. I rode to work on Friday, and overdressed. This meant I was a little sweaty on arrival, luckily no-one noticed or at least commented. It was dark on the way home but I still had to remove a layer early on.
The video is from the ride into the London on Friday, through the center of Croydon. It felt like scene a from that Hitchcock movie.
