Default Spring outfit

Following on from the Lidl thread,
here is my new spring outfit.

New black windproof vest from Lidl
Fleece-lined top from Decathlon (don't know the name,
but it is very warm). Black.
Light fleece from Decatlon. Black.
(7 quid, recommend them to anybody, good length for
cycling and they pack down small)
Parrot windshell. Black.
New Nike cycling shorts - black.
Buff - you guessed it.


I did get some bright front lights and have two Cateye
rears though!

All you need now is the Spring to arrive ;-)

....and to work out what to wear for the other 363 days of the year ;-)

Greetings,

I don't know how you can wear all that at once; my all year round wardrobe
are bib shorts and a long sleeved summer Fox top for the 15 mile each way
commute to work. The only thing that changes from winter to summer is
whether I add an Ozzo windproof and the socks go from light to heavy
coolmax. I guess it must be my added insulation and thick northern blood
(blood group, gravy!).

T.T.F.N.

More of a mix and match ensemble, dahlings.

Yes, but where do you get the Doc Martens with SPD cleats in the soles?

How nice for you southerners. Here, spring remains merely a concept.
Also, CH boiler keeled over during weekend. I'm working in scarf, woolly
hat and coat, clutching large mug of tea frequently to keep fingers from
frostbite.



Southerner? South of you yes (Inverness IIRC?), but only by a long day's
cycle ride.


Southerner is of course a relative concept; as another example of one,
when I lived in Newcastle there was a general agreement that a Cockney
was anybody from south of the Tyne; beginning in Gateshead.

Anyway, according to my thermometer where I'm sat it's 12 deg C, the
external temp is 7 deg C, and if that's spring I want my money back,
it's broken already. Dundee, I notice, is a whole ONE DEGREE warmer, you
lucky people.

Depends where in Dundee: there's enough elevation within the town for
the lapse rate to get rid of that. Up at Ninewells it's basically the
inside of a cloud, so if that's luck I want *my* money back! :-(
