Derbyshire – cold this morning – gilet n arm warmers, shorts – cold hands with mtb gloves – it’s the Aldi cheap bike clothes sale Thursday – might try some of the gloves
Gore knee warmers (wonderful things), long-sleeved summer club jersey and a gilet (no technofleece yet). Have full windshell for colder ride home later tonight. Gloves are always light, unpadded, full fingered.
i went with a longsleeve base layer, howies dyfi windproof jacket, vulpine rain shorts and morvelo knee warmers. although i’m optimistic that leaving at 4pm i’ll avoid the forecast rain today…
I was chuffing freezing leaving St Albans for Westminster this morning at 06.45. My hands and feet needed defrosting in the shower when I got to work, and I was wearing full-length gloves.
I was in normal summer bibs and short sleeve top, and fingerless gloves. My fingers were numb for quite a bit, and my toes actually, but was lovely and warm by the time I got here.
DHB or Decathlon are your standard responses. If you don’t want bibs you may be able to get away with a pair of 3/4 running tights and just wear some normal shorts underneath.
Got absolutely soaked on the ride home tonight. Luckily had a lightweight jacket in my pocket and my arm warmers. Feet and legs got cold though. Worth getting waterproof 3/4 bibs or just some warmer ones?
Shorts and t-shirt for me still. I’ll save the warmer clothes for when it gets really cold, although might have to put socks on soon. I have enough ‘natural’ insulation to keep me warm enough for the half hour into work.
