solo ride

solo ride, a photo by rOcKeTdOgUk on Flickr.

after spending a few hours battling with a stubborn centrelock disc i eventually got out for a ride and i tried the latest attempt to have warm fingers, some gore mistral gloves. the Bonty ones i was usng didn't work for me at all, i think they might have been to tight, so much so i nearly cried when i got to work on friday when my frozen fingers started to reheat, excruciatingly painful, i just can't imagine how painful frost nip or bite must be. i rode via the Lickeys and over the Waseleys and back, conditions are decidedly gloopy now and there was quite a strong breeze blowing. a few spots of rain dampened things further but all in all it was a good ride. the gloves seemed to work as my hands got cold when using the camera without them but i didn't notice how cold it was when wearing them, so so far so good
