Preparing for the SALE

Well Pedals Plus Power winter sale starts tomorrow. Hopefully it will be very busy for a while now.

Return of the cold weather & return of the car!

Well I have been riding bikes back and forth to work now for weeks even enjoying it while raining! However, now the cold has arrived and I am not quite so keen. What is needed is better clothing but until I get it I will be using the old ICE.

End of summer

Well the end of summer is well and truly here. When Gavin Williamson MP came to visit on Thursday 23rd September it was a lovely sunny day and I was still wearing shorts for work. It got quite cold on the way home that night on the new A2B and trousers were introduced the next day! Apart from a bit of sun yesterday morning we have had nothing to shout about since the that Thursday. Even when the sun does come out the temperatures acheived a few weeks ago are now no more. Bike ridng will now get less but it will still be done.

Waterproof jacket, trousers and winter boots come out along with wooley hat that covers the ears. So I set out this morning with thermals and waterproofs galore in the heavy rain. There is something about riding along in the rain when you are warm and dry, a bit like the feeling you have in a tent when its raining - that feeling of protection from the elements. I quite like this I thought to myself. I arrived here at work with wet sleeves for some reason even though I wore gloves over the end of my sleeves but apart from that I was completely dry. Bye bye fair weather cycling only - this is now something i will be doing all year round!
