59:10

I just finished my long run in 59:10. That's my best time on this route (6.25 miles) in at least a year, maybe two. Woohoo! :-D Normally I wouldn't blow my own horn like this, but things have gotten awfully serious around here in the last few posts. We need Chris to break out the :beer:, maybe the :vegemite:, or perhaps a :baaaa!: or two.

It gets pretty cold here, though not likely to snow I am told. Plus it rains a good deal (being Ireland and all.) Our offices have shower stalls so when I arrive I can have a hot shower. Brian reckons I will get sick riding to work but I want to do this and there must be some riding gear out there that can help. regards, Paul Watson Ireland Colib and ilikecameras.

first, for the bike, you need those "water guards" ( I forget the names ) to prevent ton of water spilling on your pants and back; and you need a good set of tyres; don't forget to clean the hardware as often as possible to remove water and dirt. second, for you, depending on a lot of factors, a good set of gloves if absolutly necessary, having frozen hands and trying to brake and control your bike will be impossible; a good wind and water resistant "shell" with flaps on the back, it must be big enough to have a sweater under it; for the legs, same thing, water and wind resitant leggings; for the head, a nice tight hat. if it's really raining ( melting snow, ... ) you will need googles.

Get the cycling shoe booties to keep your feet warm, especially if it's wet. Dress in layers (common sense, that one). Get good gloves - your hands will freeze, depending on how cold it gets. The worst I've done was a 3+ hour ride in around 26F temps, and halfway through it began to snow mildly. Fun stuff. And we got lost, because the asshat who was supposed to be guiding us got too involved in telling stories about what a great racer he was that we got lost in Ky. Idiot. Other than that, get good quality clothing - don't skimp, you'll really feel it. When I rode in bad weather I'd wear about 2 pairs of shorts, 2 pairs of full length tights, the booties, and something to cover your mouth if you can, plus the assorterted t-shirts, full length jerseys, and jacket. You won't get sick if you stay in shape, but it is really, really hard to do, mentally. Good luck!!! ¡El diablo está en mis pantalones! ¡Mire, mire!

You'll need:
- water prrof, non-slip riding gloves so you don't slip off the handlebars while trying to brake.
- Bright, reflective, tight-fitting rain jacket
- Flashing lights front and rear
- Clear or yellow tinted riding glasses that can handle that rain-off(tm) stuff (or equivalent).
- water-proof booties to go over your riding shoes.
- thermals if it's cold enough.
- Normal riding gear
- A towel
- Someone to offer you a lift just as you step out of the house all geared up.
Pity you're not in Canada else you could have fun with these[^] :D cheers, Chris Maunder

Actually I heard that intense exertion actually depresses your immune system thereby making you slightly more likely to pick up the lurgy de jour cheers, Chris Maunder
