January training

I'm now in the third block of training for the 2012 season, and feeling pretty good. Knackered, but good. This will be the last block of the traditional "base" phase of training, so I've just got 3 long rides left.

It looks like we're moving on from the mild, wet weather of the winter so far into a colder, but sunnier period. This Sunday looks like it will be chilly between 2C and 6C. If I start early, what do I wear? I'll be starting in the dark, but when the sun gets going it will get warm, and I'll probably be going up over the Black Mountain. Decisions, decisions. Big lobster gloves or normal gloves? A reflective lining layer or jerseys?

I got used to the mild weather and the damp. I should try and think what I was wearing in the ice of last winter. Better too warm than too cold, eh?
