Got wet feet last night after not putting bags on, so put them on for the ride home - otherwise was fine, need waterproof gloves and booties/shoes or something though.

Ride today was fun, ice pellets/snow with stuff already down (and on wet leaves in places) - was very wary/cautious first thing as I took my roadie but King was fairly clear all the way over so I came in at usual pace, just with more caution.

Last night and today I've been wearing my balaclava, big winter gloves and goretex jacket (last night only with a long-sleeve t-shirt and today with life-vest base layer and a wool turtle neck jumper under). I wore my rainpants yesterday but the crotch/ass seam is totally done now, so I'll have to replace them - didn't bother with them today as my exposure won't be more than 40 mins today (20 mins max each way).

Will have to get my MTB all ready as this is a good taste of what's to come and I'm not sure if I want to ride my roadie all through, with ice around it'll be scary methinks

PS, I love riding in the extremes when all warm and cozy
