My Sunday was cold, wet & fairly hard-going :-({|= (self-inflicted at that!!)


I was supposed to have been riding a Cyclo-Cross over at Greetland (south-west of Halifax) this afternoon.

But given the weather of the day, SWMBO decided she didn't want to go with me.
It was a 2-parter, & after the time-trial at 12:00, we'd have been hanging around for the second part starting at 13:45.
So, given the inclement weather, I can't really blame her. I don't think I really wanted to be hanging about in the rain & cold between the 2 sections.

I know  I could have gone by myself, but it was the simple things like; who could I get to look after the Landie-keys that was the problem

As penance for missing a planned event, I got ready & went out for a ride
I think I did about 40-42miles, in the manky wet & cold weather.*
I left the house at roughly 11:20

The legs started to warm up at around the 6mile mark, which was somewhere around FerryBridge, then the rain got a bit heavier :(
Passing through Barkston Ash & Saxton, it got very cold indeed, as the wind got up a bit.

At one point somewhere near The New Inn (west of Sherburn), I'll admit, I got the giggles for being so bl**dy stupid & coming out

Although, I have been out when it's snowing before, and even ridden over Snake Pass (the A57) & The Strines when there's ice on the roads - as well as snow laying deeply at the sides.

When I walked back in the house, SWMBO had to peel my gloves off, as I couldn't feel my fingers sufficiently to do it myself :roll:

My feet were equally cold, as they were also so wet that they could be webbed!!
I'll admit, I almost 'squealed like a girl' when I got in the shower, as the hot water sprayed my feet  :oops:
But settled for a manly "B*gger, that's hot!"

I reckon that I'd have ended up looking like this after the first part, let alone the second:shock:

So, would have had to take hot-water, flannels & towels as well ;)
