You stay at home, keep warm and let nurse see to you

I have been out on my bike doing a little chore. I am about to put more layers on as I under-estimated how cold the wind is. Having a cuppa before heading back out to do another chore. Then onto SASS

Hi aSASSins! Wanted to go to the pub to meet you guys and gals last night but it got really chilly after 7-8pm and I said "yea nah!"

Catch you next week, and stay warm and upright on the road!

Suiting up 20mins before you are going to leave. This way you will be warm much longer because you thermal up and enter the cold with a greater body temp than you would if you didn't. Heating up to a sweat is a step TOO far. Regards Richard

Sooo, how was last night?

I need to get some Ks in as we have a 1200k ride coming up. Most of the NI over a weekend. Should be a giggle.

Im coming right at last. Sharry is doing well at her riding and Im making a custom boot mod for her which should be finished by Sat.

Then i need to find a machinist for some other stuff.

Good one...

One trick I learned is to run your hands under hot water and then dry them off, pop yer mitts on (riding gloves) and your digits'll be warm and toasty when the bike gets going.

Pinkies. Heated gloves is the only sure way of making sure your digits stay warm.
