Even though it is sunny and reasonably warm out there today, the air is still cold so not warm enough for shorts yet. I did a 60 miler this morning and was still in winter longs and l/s vest and jersey. My only concession to the warmer weather was thinner gloves, no overshoes and no gilet.

My shorts came out today.

It was quite warm in north Cheshire this afternoon.

Wore shorts for the first time this year yesterday afternoon. I put on a long-sleeved jersey but could really have done with short sleeves. This morning it was a bit foggy and I started off in longs and a fleece jacket over the jersey, but the sun gradually came out and I was able to strip off again. Summer is a-coming in! :D

Those guys knew what they were doing. Mudguards, too, and a cape roll on a minimalist rear carrier.

And that, presumably, was in Italy - although I bet modern Italians are just as susceptible to modern marketing trends as we (well, not all of us!) are in Britain.

Graduated from longs to 3/4 bibs for the first time in 2015 yesterday (first outing of the year for short sleeves & fingerless mitts too). :D
