Hand Warmers

Frosty Morning in Oxford - 5 degrees

The Northern hemisphere is in the grip of the coldest winter for many years, if this keeps up, the UK will probably be soon running out of salt.

Nice Ear Warmers!

It does have it’s advantages, Oxford was very beautiful in the frosty morning. But, for cycling, the beauty of frost is soon lost to more practical considerations. The weather forecast is even worse for the next few days, so I have been trying to make the most of weather. I managed another 50 miles yesterday, despite my water bottle freezing up. I was wrapped up pretty well with several layers and a thermal jacket. For me, the biggest problem is cold hands and cold feet. This is what I wore to avoid cold hands:

My 3 Gloves and self heating hot pad!

• one inner layer – one hot pad, – a second inner layer – a third thicker ski glove. Well it worked!

My hands were quite warm. If you don’t have my poor circulation you may find this set up too much, but, it does show if you really want to cycle in cold weather you can.
It is a strange feeling cycling when it’s so cold. You are certainly always very relieved to get home!
