Spent some time at the weekend fitting new cables, wheels, chain, cassette and jockey wheels to my commuter. It was pretty warm when I went out to unlock my bike in the garage and thought a short sleeve jersey, arm warmers and gilet would be the order of the day (top half obviously) also ditched the knee warmers as conditions were almost balmy. So I set off at 7am for my usual 20 mile ride to work.
Now even in summer it’s very unusual to not feel the need for arm warmers at that time of the morning in chilly Ayrshire but by 8 miles in to the journey I was riding in short sleeves!
Bike running well, short sleeve top, what a lovely ride to work.
And yes people this is the west coast of Scotland.
