i have come to the decision that i dislike hot weather. well in the uk anyway.
when i am laid by a pool in the med, it is great, when i am at home pottering in the garden, or riding my bike, or even walking my dog, i hate the warm weather.
it makes me grumpy/agitated/moody/bored/tetchy/restless.
i have decided i like cool dry weather, even cool damp showery weather, especially for riding my bike in.
i hope the warm spell dont last...... ๐
SAD SAD .Hope your wish does'nt come true ๐
MOVE 8) where the sun don't shine
ton I know what you mean
We're not accustomed to this heat and not built for doing normal stuff in the warm. However, I'd like to keep practising - means the cooler mornings can be properly used while the sunny afternoons can be kept for socialising and relaxing and cultivating a pub tan
I'm with you on that, I am really tetchy in the uk heat, saying that it does make people smile so that's a bonus. Besides I'm still in new bike honeymoon so right now the weather can do what it likes as I will be out regardless.
warm weather - you might have to get use to it global warming is on the way
My issue with this county's climate, is that we get the hot weather for intense/short periods, so don't really get a chance to get used to it, and lots of people seem to lose their heads once the temp goes over 20.
Bit like Do The Right Thing, but with cans of stella.
I love the hot weather - heading out early and it's already 25+, knowing it'll be heading towards 40 by the time we finish...
Only thing I enjoy about warm weather (above 20C) is riding my bike, when enjoying the dry trails cancels out any other negatives. Hate it otherwise - makes me grumpy too.
Warm weather? I've been on the sofa all day covered in a blanket, shivering for England. ๐
There is no place finer than the UK in Summer, when it's sunny. It's what I live for, what I wait for each year. One day of sunny weather sets me up for weeks. Nowhere even comes close. Nowhere.
100 miles & 8200ft of ascent on the Lonsdale Populaire audax today, absolutely brilliant to ride in just shorts and a jersey after MONTHS of biting wind & low temps. Fantastic day out, heat kept at bay by just enough of a breeze to make it fun ๐
[i]a dislike of the warm weather[/i]
I blame integrated headsets.
Mrs S is a woman of a certain age that has the same problem. Will HRT help?
To quote Peter Kay,
'Oh it's too warm. I like it warm but I don't like it this warm, there's warm and there is warm....'
'Have a Solero and shut the **** up, will you!'
[i]Will HRT help? [/i]
Very yes, but read the label, first. It must be her choice, etc.

I think ton you need a sex change, only thing for it ๐
I used to be like that Tony, quite like it now unless I'm at work, then I can't stand it.
I seem to be able to do both hot & cold weather.
noooooooooooooooooooooooooi hope the warm spell dont last......
I like it hot. Really hot. Anywhere anytime except when I'm at work
Warm fine, hot not so much. Today was the upper limit of comfort for doing 'stuff' IMO. any hotter and wearing a suit, or spending time outside in anything but t-shirt and shorts becomes unpleasant
I love it - shorts and short sleeves are a revelation after layering up for so long... and it gives you a chance to develop your best cyclist's sunburn...

It was horrible blasting around dusty dry trails all weekend. Who'd want to do that? Rubbish - got dust all over my bike. Not a good as mud, only took about 30 seconds to clean after riding. That's not character building
KILL THE HERETIC!
Warm weather? I'm hoping we haven't even got started yet,
Oh, and yes: You're weird.
any idea's for a place with a dry climate hovering about 2 degrees? ๐
Mrs Coolhandluke finds it odd that I prefer to sit indoors in good weather until I remind her that I work outside and I get enough sun through the week.
My shade is her sun.
Love the temperature though.
It gets pretty chilly in the Atacama. You may want to stay inside during the day though.
Today was perfect. Not so hot I couldn't do some hard graft in the garden in the hottest bit of the day but still properly toasty. Oh and BBQ tea at 5.00 - protein, cider and salad in the shade. 8)
Warm weather? been freezing in Aberdeen today. ๐
Cinnamon girl I hope you feel better soon
Ace day. Burnt and knackered but none of that Caribbean sweaty wetness.
Been too busy to get out at all this weekend. It looked nice. Stop moaning, you bar stewards!
Try Scotland!
Yup, try north of the border. It's generally a few degrees cooler up here. It was a lovely 11 degrees when I set off on my ride yesterday morning, and with the sun out and riding dry trails it was just about perfect. And there's still quite a bit of snow in some places judging by the large snow patches I could see on Lochnagar.
A beautiful morning to be out on the bike.
Green and yellow fields and trees, blue skies, fluffy white clouds, warmth on your skin, winter pasty whiteness gone, girls in summer dresses, beer gardens, cider, long lazy Sundays and laughs with mates, everyone's mood improved, picnics by the river, oh and dusty trails.
What's not to like you bloody weirdos - and it's not even been that hot yet!?
What he ^ said!
Nope, I love it HOT. End a ride by wiping the sweat off the top tube and... that's it.
I do all my summer riding between 6am and 11am and 5pm and 10pm just to stay out of the heat.
I got heat stroke once.In wales.In april.True story brah.
For dry non sloppy trails its fantastic.
was out at 6am this morning....18 miles before work, was ok I suppose, not too hot n sweaty.
roll on November.........
I'm off to Greece for a couple of months on Wednesday - about 25 degrees at the minute but more like 37 at the end of July.
Obviously I like it .....
Do you not have to be in work till lunch Ton? ๐
bastid........ ๐
Eh? you what?
It was pissing it down a few weeks ago and everything was complete shite, now you are moaning that its too hot? FFS!
Half you buggers will be back to whining about it being too cold/wet in a few months, which TBH is what nobody sane likes, I understand people might dislike being a bit too humid and sweaty, but I much prefer being "too hot" to cold and/or wet...
I had a lovely weekend, I achieved very little, but did so in glorious sunshine which makes all the difference.
I'll willingly swop - it's in the 40's here and getting hotter, riding takes place at 5am...
