did my 30 miles round the dales today sent my missus out in the car to look for my toes
Had a crackin ride around Gisburn forest trails yesterday, lovely still sunny day, just too cold!!
My front mech managed to get jammed up with little stones that froze solid and had a comedy fall off the wooden pontoons while clipped in.
First time ive been up there, the Red route is cracking about 15 miles figure of 8 with abit of everything. Does anyone else ride around there?

Done a bit round there yes but sold the mtb last year. Just a roadie now!
Although momentum and impetus is not so easy in these sub zero temperatures
Well done stagger - glad you're back out there x
Well done everybody getting out in the cold. Interestingly I have not been allowed on my bike this weekend, something to do with ice on the road and temps of minus 6 this morning. Can't think why......:o;)
Anyway, had to be content with a bit of spin to keep me sane. Looks like the turbo will be getting a bit of attention this week.
did my 21 miles round Richmond Park on Saturday morning - my drink froze into slush puppy
I went out for an hour on the road on the crosser yesterday afternoon... My feet disappeared after about 45 minutes... everything else stayed warm in my flash winterkit... Could barely move from the number of layers mind!
Has anyone found a way to keep the feet warm? I had on: woollen socks, thin water and windproof oversocks, MTB shoes, neoprene fleecelined water and windproof overshoes and my feet still froze to death :(
something like this

but less weighty if it exists?
Have you considered that all the socks reduce blood supply to your toes? I find if my socks are to tight I end up with frozen toes. Keeping your toes wriggling might help.Quote:

It's a fantastic piece of kit, but I'm never going to get any use out of it so I might as well get shot of it whilst it's still worth something. I'm guessing that that the multi-player licence will have run out - can't even remember if / how I registered that bit, but it does includes Mount Ventoux DVD.
Very cold tonight. One spin session .
Now what's this I've heard about someone coming out of a friends house this morning:o
