Was it me or was it bl00dy cold riding today?

Well?

My fingers were killing me when I got home and that is with the hot grips on!!!!!

It was "brisk" this morning on a long razz to work. It's only four miles, but I somehow managed about twelve!

Coming home, yep, a bit nippy! Heated grips and handguards make life very pleasant! Short route home though.

I don't know it was too cold to go out.

2 deg on the East coast, not incl the wind chill factor, despite the sun being out

21 miles. Mostly country roads. The wind chill made it errrrrrrrrrr chilly.

Mr Lou said it was cold too. I had a lovely warm car as I had to drive to Physio (my excuse and I'm sticking to it!)

Thats why i wont buy heated grips, i tried inner gloves 2 days ago, made my hands even cooler!

Need some wind deflectors i think, or heated gloves.

I ventured out yesterday for the first time since October last year.

Should have put my neck roll on, chin got a bit cold. But hands, lovely and toasty. Heated gloves, I had to turn them own as they got a bit too warm.

Quite nippy last couple of days - and the forecast is threatening the return of snow

I dunno my heated grips and heated back protector seemed to say no..

If you're freezing, then you probably don't have the right kit. I was really toasty on the bike yesterday morning, despite the freezing temperatures. I even forgot to switch on my Jett heated vest as I was warm enough without it. The Jett is excellent. It's a really warm garment in its own right and has 3 heat settings. I never need to use the hottest setting.

Lots of layers is the key. I had:

T-shirt, warm shirt, Jett heated vest (switched off), fleece, textile jacket with additional lining zipped in.
Thermal base layer, jeans and leather trousers (large enough to go over jeans)
Thin socks, then really thick warm socks.
Heated grips and handguards
