That's handy, you can pick up SB's snood for him while you're there.
Oh, sorry, Snodland.

I am in full agreement chaps.
Although I was thinking I'd be buying a MTB pair which believe me are even worse, so all of a sudden these don't look so bad.
But this is my last throw of the dice, even on comparatively 'warm' days my feet are painful very early on.
As for proper cold the photo you don't want to see is one of my post ride pinkies, or to be more precise blueies.
I can't help thinking if I carry on as I am, I'm asking for some kind of chilblain, circulation, mobility, trouble which isn't good news for a postie.
When t'other Colin said the spech boots he was wearing weren't as good as the NorthWave ones and he was still wearing just summer socks in -7, I was sold on the spot.
Whereas my hands are always fine and dandy wearing what are basically long fingered summer mitts.
If I find either of you two wearing these, looking like the ultimate cockwomble:-
You'll be regretting taking the pee out of my cold toes

Snoods are the new rock n roll.
In fairness I've only worn mine once, but it was great and it's only a simple fine cotton one.

I've got some gloves like that. Bontrager though.
I wore them last week when it was cold. They were lovely.
Live Long and Prosper.

Useful if you forget your lock and can be kept in your pocket as an emergency.

Ha ha. I had a clipped in whoopsie today. Lost concentration up a hill and at low speed was too close to the kerb. Rather than take my chances and fight it, I done a Zaha onto the soft verge but not the looking around arms outstretched bit before banging my fist into the turf. No witnesses, which was nice.
And I found some words painted on my bike. (Translation for IL: I cleaned my very dirty bike.)
How does my HR reading look?

Could you translate the last bit too?
I wore my HRM (but sadly not with a bra) so now have extra data to look at.
Another toastie toes ride this afternoon

I can't remember if I flagged this widget up, when it first appeared.
But as I'm sending it off to Phil, I'll include it here too:-

Soon there'll be no enjoyment to riding at all, it'll all be like riding in a lab and looking at the numbers.
A bit like those people I see in gyms round our way who run indoors on a treadmill whilst looking out the window at the sea. It's as if no one told them there's a seafront they can run on for free

strong and stable with me, or...

Come on, you know thats rubbish. The ride remains the ride. All this data stuff is for after the ride, once you've finished. Instead of thinking, I must of nailed that climb today, you can see how well you did on that climb. That's nothing like your analogy.
It's hard not to agree about all the Strava numbers.Soon there'll be no enjoyment to riding at all, it'll all be like riding in a lab and looking at the numbers.

I do like the breakdown of the ride, % spent climbing, climbing speed then pedalling time.
As well as having my best segment times next to the current one.
Other than that, TBH I just dont understand it, which probably is no bad thing.
