I admit it, I am a wimp

There was a CTC meet up at Little Walsingham this moring. I was planning on
going. Honest. But then Vernon said he was going into Norwich for a couple
of meetings today and did I want to tag along so I could have the day in
Naarch. I don't often get the chance of a full day's mooch about the shops
in Naarch, so I wimped out of the cycling. I'm glad I did! There was a
biting wind, sleet, snow of various types, more sleet, more biting wind and
more snow. At various points the snow was blowing horizontal...

So I admit it. Today I was in the category of fairweather cyclist!

Cheers, helen s

On the bicycle island and from here to Prestwick the weather was
fantastic - egg shell blue sky and mirror calm sea - loads of
cyclists in lycra shorts.

Unfortunately I was taking SWAMBO to the airport so that she could
visit her sister in London - mair expense :-((

Well, a few miles south of you in Suffolk, wall to wall sunshine most of the
day!!

Perhaps a little harsh on yourself.

Perhaps we need to invent a compartive term:
"fairerweather cyclist"

Or maybe "any-weather-as-long-as-it's-not-a-shopping-day cyclist".

I wimped out of our evening club ride, up the same hill 5 times starting at
6pm. Although in defence I had hauled myself out of bed at 5am, ridden 12
miles to work in the bitingly cold wind, done an 8 hour shift and then
ridden home in snow flurries, so my conscience was sort of clear.
