I suggest you all come down to the South East and enter my events
It's not been too bad down in the South East. Yes, it hasn't been balmy and I've only ridden without longs twice since the New Year, but I've managed to ride most weekends (other than one in January, which was the weekend of the Hills and Mills, when the so-called snowpocalypse hit, which was a bit of an overstatement) even if this meant riding the day after originally planned. It's not even been particularly frosty from memory, at least compared to previous years (2 years ago was pretty poor).
I'm going to be out and about tomorrow, although with a little trepidation. More because of the rain mixed with the cold air, which might make staying warm more difficult. I don't expect to be posting pictures similar to those on the event over Park Rash last weekend(!) So whilst not exactly full of the joys of spring, miserable March would be overstating it. I'm no more miserable than usual
Kind of brings home how different the challenge is faced by people round the UK, if I compare and contrast our local experience to (say) Scotland.
