It's funny but less than a week ago, I was complaining about the heat and in particular how it made riding in the afternoon horrible, well tonight I lie here in my sleeping bag wearing a set of long thermals, my cycling gear, a fleece jacket and another set of long johns and I'm only now beginning to warm up. Whilst I've no way of knowing precisely how cold it is, or has been today, I'm guessing its only just above zero now and probably didn't get much above five degrees during the day. Seriously, it has been freezing all day.
So much so in fact that by the time I got to the lunch truck, fortunately we'd only had to cycle ten of the sixty kilometres on unpaved road, I couldn't feel my fingers or toes. Contemplating the decision as to whether to ride on or not after lunch, wasn't difficult when I started shivering uncontrollably and saw that a lot of others who were in the same boat opting to pike it.
