We were determined not to be beaten by the weather, so elected to don the Lycra and take the bikes for a spin by ‘le Tarn’ – how cold could it be!? We togged up and ventured out. My hands were freezing and numb (even with two pairs of gloves) for the first 20 mins, but eventually warmed after a quick blast on the bike. After 50 mins our water bottles had virtually frozen solid and Claire’s wasn’t sure whether her feet still existed. We decided that this was a good time to head back for tea! I wouldn’t recommend cycling in -4C (with no sun), but we are glad we ventured out! On the plus side, Claire still has two (slightly smelly) feet!
