shamus Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 (edited) No normally but yes atm because I'm being slowly killed by this illness Today is the only day this week i got out the house for a decent length of time and that was for a uni test Normally though its starting riding that is the hardest, once your out there and riding i normally end up in just a Tee-shirt.Or long sleeve T and shorts (with shinnys).

tris Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Compared with the summer i don't ride much now. After school in the summer was great, nice and light and warm till about 10pm. Winter is shite.I still ride quite a lot on the old beema, just have to put 2 lots of everything on and your set.....After riding for about 20 minutes you start getting hot anyways.

Lar Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 No hibernation here, just ride harder to keep warmer. Surf more in the winter than i do in summer usually, and i have to get naked to do that so riding is fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Scarlet Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Its not so much me being cold, but the dampness/icyness of my bike and what it is riding on.Too sketching riding in the wet, sure I'll do it if I'm out on a ride, but going out on my own knowing that I'm not going to be doing much, there isn't much point.

weirdoku Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Prawn snapped his chain and it was funny.Again?!I don't plan to stop just because it gets cold. I only just started in October and I am having too much fun. But I only ride when it's not too went, don't care about the sun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simpson Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 I'm hibernating, too wet for ramps, and too cold for motivation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebelistic Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Surf more in the winter than i do in summer usually, and i have to get naked to do that so riding is fine.You surf naked? I've been tempted to drive back from the Quarry where I freedive in my wetsuit, it's an 1:30 hour drive though.I've had about a 5 weeks off riding (injury and illness) and just getting back into it again seems fine but everything's so slippy and covered in ice.

Jamie_Neal Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 As the cold weather sets in, how many of you slugs have given up for the time being?Im still going in Swansea, apparently its colder back home though! So we'll see. Front to back on icy rails y'all?Is this a stuble hint that I'm not riding enough?Not hibernating, just decorating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 I am definately not hibernating! I am gyming during the week with rock climbing and trials on the side. I then ride trials on the weekend whatever the weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan81 Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 dont mind the cold....but whats the point riding in the rain.mostly hate the frost or slimy surfaces more than coldness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 whats the point?? How about to improve your riding? To have fun? All the other reasons why we ride bikes?Thats one of the most single minded questions I have heard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ti-mig-guy Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 My riding has gone down from 5 days/ week to about 2. It's just so wet. I have an indoor spot, but it is still full of the 59 Impala that I am restoring. So when that goes to paint I will be back to 5 days. Is it just me or are there lots of sick riders?

Mikee Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 I still ride in the winter just not quite as much as i do in the summer. I don't mind the cold and wet..... It's the wind I dislike! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
