sometimes yes
when I went out a week ago, sun was going in, and i got cold, I was only wearing shorts with knee warmers, shoes (with no over shoes) and top with a soft shell and fingerless gloves
so I wear a bit more
this week haven't been too bad, temps are a lot higher

Ideal Gabba weather at the moment, although I do feel like a bit of a bell cruising round the Cheshire lanes on easy rides with carbon wheels and a Gabba on. 
Might break out the winter steely next week.

Isn't ShiWarrior about 5 stone @ 6 foot high or something? All skin and bone = feels the cold more.

yep

Glad my memory is vaguely accurate now and again
Some people are just predisposed to feel the cold or heat more too. Even when I was thinner I generally felt really hot compared to most people around me. And not in a Grudas way

Hi Daveski, few navigation errors, station Road one annoyed me, turned left and was thinking I'm sure this is the wrong way and ended up going back around the round about and picking up the right route. Blame this on the railway crossing, it's an area I don't know very well.
Other navigation mistake was queens bower road, why does route 6 not go down the dual carriageway passed the Chilwell olympia? It instead goes a detour around Attenborough.

I thought you'd enjoy that
Helps my ego grow lol.

Pft. Keep pushing
Haha!

Try long sleeve only! You'll warm up after 2-3 miles and it'll be fine! I normally push harder for the first two miles to get the blood pumping and sweat going and then I'm good! Only difficult part is keeping fingers warm!
Crikey what would you be wearing over here then
What will be the low temperatures you get at this time of the year ?
Low of 0.0c, average of 9.8c.
High of 39.6c, average of 29.3c.
That's about right for the low, but much hotter than usual, which should be closer to 24c.

I thought the detour around Attenborough was a bit weird but I do know someone who does that to avoid the traffic and terrible road surface past the Olympia.
I should be able to sort another route out for you if you want? Maybe me or Dunks could ride it with you so you know where you're going? I know the area pretty well.

Wore my jacket this morning. Managed about three miles before I started to boil alive...so it's definitely getting colder. Think I'll go back to just my baselayer tomorrow.
We've been through this. It's not good enough to just do the first few miles - you need to keep pushing.

Bloody hell cold this morning!
1c, had merino baselayer and softshell on, body absolutely fine, also had my new sealskin gloves, which I wore on Saturday and had my hands sweating, but due to the fantastic condition known as Reynards my hands were in agony, and I actually felt physically sick when I got to work!
