I looked out of the window this morning. No frost but looking a little grey and drizzly. I put on my bib longs, new buff and merino top. Out on the road it wasn’t cold at all. I didn’t need to put the buff into balaclava mode, but actiing as a scarf it did a good job of keeping my neck warm.
The bib longs were probably overkill for the ride to Waterloo but they kept my legs nice and toasty while walking the fifteen minutes to my office.
The merino top was excellent and performed brilliantly. I didn’t have that clammy cold feeling that I usually have with my polyester wicking tops after a ride. Also it doesn’t smell at all. I’m going to see if I can get away without washing it for three days.
