Apparently we’re due a cold snap later this week (here in England)

Yeah, I’m a bit of a wimp when it comes to cold weather….I give huge respect to anyone who can brave the elements and still ride.

Exactly……it was a little more difficult for me, but I’m so happy to have made the move to better temperatures.

Modern clothing makes cold weather cycling easier but the cold was still getting to my hands. I designed the barbra.ca It is a protective cover for my handlebars. The BarBra TM keeps my hands warm and dry.
The hard part is still getting out the door!

We had a RM Colour Sergeant as our physical training instructor at Quantico. I remember him saying the same thing.

Ah yes, flashbacks to riding my bike in the snow in Missoula, MT. Now as I sip coffee on my deck soaking in the temperance of another beautiful Austin autumn morning I wonder…

…what the hell was I thinking back then.

As my old Sergeant Major was fond of saying, “There’s no such thing as bad weather only poor equipment.”

Anyway, if we waited for good weather to pedal in the UK we’d never get out and ride!

Nice words of encouragement. Needed them, too, since I’m already feeling the fall blues – in mild weather Texas, no less – and need to get back in the saddle.

(By the way, I didn’t know that there was gluten in punishment. I thought all punishment was gluten-free! Either way I’m okay, since as a glutton I don’t have to stay away from gluten.)

Great article. Even here in Northern Florida the mornings are becoming brisk. It takes a little bit more effort to plan for the cold but the benefits are worth it.
