It most definitely is a state of mind. I find checking the weather and having my kit ready the night before really helps.kylecycler wrote: ↑26 Nov 2021, 1:07pmI think what tends to happen is, you hate the thought of it but you love it when you get out there.
I always have that old mountaineering adage in mind: 'Be bold; start cold'. It's amazing how quickly you warm up once you get moving if you've got the right clobber on. It's just that first couple of minute as I'm getting my bike out of the shed and putting on my gloves and overshoes...
My shorts/legwarmers were soaked through this morning by the time I got to work, but when I was moving I hardly noticed it.
I've definitely got a bit of work to do on my bike when I get home this evening (rinse, dry and lube)
