Just wear an aldi/lidl/something long sleeve base layer. Don't be layering up.

If you feel a slight chill leaving your gaff... you're good to go.

Ponder on the witchcraft as you cycle :P

Not so much in the post for me now... my Galibier Énergie Thermo Bib Tights arrived this morning after being ordered on Friday. Can't wait to try them out in the morning. the Chamois pad seems the business but I'll reserve judgement on the warmth, till tested.
The Aldi pro cycling bibs from two years ago have yet to be beaten...

My Galibier Energie bib rights are waiting for me in work and I'll pick them up tomorrow. One thing negative I have to say about Galibier is that luckily I ordered these bibs using the sterling prices on their website and it converted to €90 on my credit card. If you order these bibs fromGalibier in euro on their website, they work out at €109! That's some difference.

Rivelo Langcliffe arrived from Sportpursuit.com today. So far, it's very nice. Haven't worn it outside yet tho.

Got the cold (-1) but not the wet.

Was beginning to think Boards was a front for Galibier but now I see why. Not only did I not need the gilet or arm warmers I brought "just in case" but my feet and hands were warmer than they had been on a spin since November. Just a Canterbury base layer under the Mistral jacket and it was perfect. Was with a faster group than usual and there was little or no wind so that probably helped too.

They should last you a week or so

S-Works Road Shoes (2015)
Tried them on in store last week, like putting slippers on :-)

Said I'd never pay that much for shoes, then a moment of madness when I saw a 35% discount from https://www.cyclestore.co.uk

Trekker09

Sone decent winter bib tights overshoes and winter gloves from Planet X. Will be starting my 30km again in a few weeks so thought I'd treat myself (well it was Valentines day yesterday)

This whole "Shure you could be dead tomorrow" isn't really working out too well tbh.

I'd hedge my bets on being poorer rather than dead'r.

Still... I'm not really giving a fupp

Spring Classics-related purchases which arrived yesterday:

Dhb toe cover overshoe (It might be chilly...)
Spare Vittoria Pave 25mm clincher
Torque wrench set (everything to be tightened down ahead of the cobbles)
Campagnolo Chorus 12-27 cassette (for them climbs)
Campagnolo Record 11s chain
Castelli Arenberg mitts (bit of extra padding)
Several Conti tubes
Topeak mini DX Master blaster pump with gauge (gauge will allow me to be at the required pressure)
Elite Ciussi gel bottle cages (should keep my bottles from flying!)
Lizard Skins DSP 3.2mm bar tape (won't be double-wrapping the bars. this stuff is cushy enough)

6 weeks tomorrow I'll be packing for the trip

Speedplay Frog's and an extra set of clips. I think the SPD's on my Commuter are causing me some knee pain, so I thought I would give them a go. Anyone use them? I am aware they need regualr maintenance by greasing up the bearings on a frequent basis.

I've got the Speedplay Zero pedals; it takes 5 mins to grease 'em up and I do this every 3-4000km. Marvelous yokes.

Galibier mistral toe covers to keep my tootsies warm and Galibier Roubaix gloves to see if they will keep me as warm as my winter gloves but as they're not as bulky as winter gloves, will I have more "feel" of the controls?

Wonder if I'll get a little pressie from them this time? I got a mussette with my first order, a head scarf with my second order but nothing with my last order. Ah well, I got used to being spoilt.

My Galibier bundle of jacket, hat, socks and shoe covers arrived today! Well, yesterday but I picked it up from the post office today. Initial thoughts... fit is great and all looks great quality. Can't wait to get out on the road in it all now

Going for my first build. Just have to figure out how I tell my other half why I bought another bike. Can't see "but I don't have a titanium bike" cutting it.

A pair of sealskinz gloves for 22 euro and a pair of nalini bib tights for 38 euro from sportpursuits (waiting 3 weeks tho 😱)
And a pair of Cannondale c2 handlebars from ebay for 33 euro
Can't resist a bargain and I reckon il need the gloves and bibtights for another couple of months the way this winter has been!
