The wimp list ...

I dropped the kids to crèche in the trailer (5k) and then did a 20k loop since I had my rain gear on (sans trailer)

Working from home so it's grand to be able to hop into the shower.

Not even the trailer warranted some space this morning as cars rushed to be bumper to bumper at the next set of lights. Had to use pedestrian crossings for one junction as no one let me out on the approach even though they were going nowhere

Two showers this morning. One on the way to work and there other when I arrived. needed it as I was covered in crap splashed up from the road. Got soaked on the way home too.

I got about 50k in today. Drivers seemed extra agressive or extra stupid and had some pretty close passes, including one skip driver who practically ran me into a parked car.

Maybe they're feeling the cold more than me

I thought it was pleasant this morning although the layers were definitely required.

I would have gone out today but I had to go to the Mater and get an injection in my eye...

Just one eye? Wimp! :P

I'm taking my wee one off the wimp list after adding her for not wanting to ride in the rain the other day..... which I wouldn't have let her do anyway just incase I'm deemed a crappy dad , asked if she wanted to go to preschool on her bike today I got that same "are you serious" look followed by "not raining". half way down the road today on the 1.5km me walking behind her she abruptly stops to put her boot into a small frozen bit of water in a dip in the foot path , take that stupid ice

Wimped out today. Cycled Monday and Tuesday but the current northerly wind is absolutely killing me on the way home, the cycle is absolutely no fun at all.

It’s so calm out there today. This mornings commute was much more pleasant than the last couple of days. You are missing out!

magicbastarder

was a little bit breezy on the commute in.
last night, the wind was WNW i think.

PokeHerKing

Nothing better than waking up and seeing a minus degree on the phone.

Not a breath of wind out today. Great cycling weather.

C3PO

Absolutely Baltic on my way in from Shankill at 5.45am this morning ... coldest morning so far!

Very cold this morning but so satisfying passing queues of traffic

looked like a Galibier advert this morning but finally toasty

I missed out too then! Estate roads were fairly icy so decided to wimp out and get the train, which arrived 10 mins late :rolleyes:. Totally regretting it now but it's nice to have the occasional reminder of why the bike is so damn great.

Cold but a really nice, stress free cycle for me this morning. I love days like today..justifies all the money spent on warm cycling kit!

Pinch Flat

Little man was sick, so stayed home until Mrs pinch flat came home at lunch time. it was even nippy enough heading through the phoenix park at 1pm....

i worked from home today, partly because there was heavy rain forecast. it's been dry all day.

amcalester

I'm already working on my excuse for tomorrow.

I’ve just got a PS4 so won’t be going anywhere tomorrow. Does stealing a bike and riding that on GTA count?

Or you could ride your bike like you're in GTA.

And unusually warm. I cycled for the first time in a week and had too many layers on. My spiked tyres are on their way to me too now

the main thing i'm wimping out on at the moment is washing the bike. i don't fancy losing my fingertips trying to faff around outside in the cold with water and sponges.

Not sure if this belongs in this thread - anyone else been laid low with this dose of flu going around? Every bit of me hurts and I cannot get warm.
