Ah!! Just when I was ramping up the cycling to 100 miles a week. Should make the Sunday runs interesting in the coming weeks then!

Must remember to get the "underfloor heating" installed in the lycra tights!!  :-X (Apologies to anyone for that image just after breakfast!!!

 ;D

If you have a weak bladder, this shouldn't be a problem  ;)

Well just nipping out for a 35 miler in the next half hour (that's leaving in the next half hour, not an average speed of 70mph!!!!), so I shall see how it goes, although it's not too nippy just yet.

There was a shop in town recently selling skiing socks with a heater unit attached to them. I'm sure with a little modification the heater units could be moved into your Lycra shorts  :D

Crikey, certainly in need of some heated parts for sure. A smidge windy too (that is movement of air from high to low pressure, as opposed to gaseous emission on my part).

Glad to be back in the warm - now where were those socks........?

Please stop it... first you talk about fridges and now it's starting to freeze here too.  ;D
I don't care - I'm a racing driver and I'm here to win, not to finish third.

Rollocks!!!!   Done some checking and they weren't socks but were heated innersoles and were available from a store called Tchibo. Sure you could still position them where you wnat though!!

It's a wierd place. It's a coffee house (a la Costa/Starbucks) but also sells a range of about 20 items that change each week. One week they sell industrial style tools, the next week ladies lingerie.

Hmmm.  Pink Grip, a heated ws and 3.2kW powersupply.  The mind boggles.

Last year we took a fridge and a 2.2 kw generator.  Frankly we didn't care about silencing but didn't run it overnight.

Was also enough to run lighting, kettle and phone chargers and a compressor for blowing up inflatables  :o

I think this year we may add a freezer for truly frosty ones.
