Don't eat it if it's yellow

I meant regionally.

Just cycled home wearing some winter gloves "guaranteed to keep your hands warm ".
Instantly put the kettle on & made a cuppa to help warm my frozen hands!

Gloves liners from Decathlon under you winter gloves. Works a treat

Ironically the winter gloves are decathlon items!
Think I'll get some glove liners, and also a balaclava.

Rode last night and it was brutal. We ride through the winter and have ridden in colder temperatures in the past but that was bloody cold. Normally ride for 2 hours but cut it short by half an hour as everyone had a numb something or other. Will have to get a thicker buff thingy for under the helmet as actually started feeling the top of my head go numb. Never enjoyed a warm pub as much.

Not sure why it was so bad when the temp was ‘only’ -1 or so, but that just felt vicious.

I had gloves on this morning and my hands were FREEZING.

I do have some heated gloves somewhere, will need to dig them out.

I used to ride a bike to work before I learned to drive, I always found thermal mittens to be the best for keeping your fingers warm.

Found the best thing for keeping fingers and toes warm is to keep your core warm first. I bought some cheap but cracking skiing base layers from Aldi which really work, and they’re nice and thin so you don’t get that Michelin man bulkiness either.

Still need a good pair of gloves and I tend to wear their ski socks which are really good too, but I found until I got the core temp sorted I was really fighting the fingers and toes.

Off out again this morning for about 3 hours, predicted roughly +3, going to try my Wolves beanie under the helmet this time because the wind on the tips of the ears feels like a scalpel blade at times.

I've got one of these for keeping my head/ears warm - https://www.cycologygear.co.uk/collections/cycling-beanies

That’s just the sort of thing I’m after, cheers.

Those thermal helmet liners are great would also recommend.
