Farewell English Summer, Hello Winter Riding Kit
by Rhiannon on Sep.11, 2009, under Rhiannon Davies
This week I have had to hang up my summer air-flo jacket for the last time, and switch back to the familiar old leather jacket ready for the winter.
I can’t believe how sudden the drop in temperature seems to have occurred; the last few days have been quite bitter at morning commuter time … although bright and sunny and still needing my dark visor
, I have also needed my winter gloves! And after getting off the bike at work this morning, I did start to wonder where I might have stored the additional lining for my jacket
.
Oh well, good thing I’ve got decent winter gloves, neck tubes, and plenty of jumpers to layer up in when going out on the bike. Now all I need is a good deal on a waterproof over-suit.
