    If you were anywhere Cork this morning, you would have really hated it, it was pouring rain! Still we had a good summer... at least it's not too cold yet

    I love the dry, calm but cold days in the winter. Go for weekends spins - nothing too strenuous, just keep tipping away.

    Might do some canal and mountain biking this winter to mix things up a bit.

    Nice bike. Must put my own mudguards back on, planning to commute by bike 3/5 days this winter......now I have a sudden desire for champagne

    I'll keep up the daily 30km commute - only thing that stops that is a really icy/snowy morning. (2-3 this year so far!) Weekend spins will be curtailed to allow for studying/watching No.1 son's rugby matches. Try to average about 220kms per week through the winter months.

    I've got myself some excellent winter gear over the last year including some cycling boots that should keep feet warm and dry.

    I'll stick to the tourer or CX bike and slow down. A pannier with some hit coffee and a thermos with soup might accompany me in the loblnger days.

    turbo to be used mon-fri or on the dangerous days.

    I'll enjoy the days off a bit more too
