[MrGrumpy]

I did ask for biking clothes etc but got nowt lol but no complaints from me I did treat myself to a new pair of cycling shoes from CRC, reduced to £40 from £150, just hope they fit!

The best cycling bit I got was a 2014 Boardman CX, couldn't believe it! The only issue I have is its in kit form. This is where you all might be able to offer assistance. Do I try and get it together myself? or do I get the local Halfrauds to put it together. I'm just concerned if anything goes wrong in the future the manufacturers warranty will be void because it was assembled by myself! Appreciate your thoughts.

Set of Oakley Radar paths with Black Iridium lens. Going to buy a lense or two for varying light. Really dim light and night riding. Think Hi Persimmon or Yellow would do? Around £50 per lens, lol.

Got Froomeys book, Charlie Wegelius' book and Obsessive compulsive cycling disorder. The latter two will be on the 'first to read' list.

@Mr Haematocrit - Ya done good buddy! The missus must either be very up to speed with what you like or she intercepted your note to Santa at the post office.

I'm slightly ashamed to say i haven't read any of Cav's books. Are they a good read?

 

[mattobrien]

Bib tights, Castelli Sorpasso wind proof
Base layer, Vastelli Iride LS
Overshoes, Castelli Diluvio
Oh and a Merino wool buff

Just want to go out cycling now, but it is rather windy and rainy here.

A trip to LBS later may have to suffice...
