You're all a bunch of big girls blouses.

I cycled to work at 5:45 yesterday morning, in shorts and short sleeve shirt.
The uniform I wore all morning, on delivery, just like I did in August.

Man up geeks. :lolol:

Happy to be a blouse.

Thermal tights, ski socks, merino base layer, long sleeved thermal top, gilet, buff, hat, thick gloves.

And even then it's too cold.

I was doing so well.
I instantly realised Brexit and UK politics in general was completely pointless being 'debated' on NSC.
If I'd worked out as quickly that Jem was just a BGesque algorithm, I could have saved myself 100's of posts with a simple 'whatever'.

Live and learn.

It's not even about debating it, it's just too depressing to see the unashamed fvckwittery displayed so unashamedly by so many.

Anyway, cycling's fun, isn't it?

Thursday night was

Winter boots, summer socks, tights, thin base layer, long sleeve, standard gloves, buff, skull cap.

Not far off but just too hot, I probably could have done without the cap.

Hey [MENTION=12665]TrickyOne[/MENTION] I've just had a little play around on plotaroute, before bed:-

https://www.plotaroute.com/route/315876

I even (pointlessly) incorporated Cobb Lane for you.
You can come back even closer to the A23 starting at Colwood Lane finishing through Twineham, but I do loves me a bit of Spronketts.


The Wall, is Kidd's Hill, which is just below Coleman's Hatch.
On your route it's just a few minutes right of Chelwood Gate. (Kidd's goes up hill left to right)

I have developed a heavy cold, and Saturday's forecast has confirmed that I'd be doing myself no favours at all if I joined the Geeks ride. So I will give it a miss this time - sorry Tricky and banjo...

No worries Pogue, was thinking this morning that with the strong chance of rain all day, that we'll have to make a late call on this ride. Don't fancy riding 5 odd hours in the rain.

forecast is pretty grimm at the moment ,100% chance rain all morning 23mph winds and none too warm-this isnt looking good-I know about rule #5 and that -but I'm also not that keen on a 5 hour misery fest :-(
