New lock.
Left the old one on the canal at the weekend.
Wasn't even using it . Just took it out to get my jacket and lunch out of the bag.

New gloves came in the post .

New tyre for the most used bike. Only question is, do I change it straight away or wait for a bit until the old one passes the 5000 mile mark?

Polaris Shield Waterproof, some thin leatherette to recover a saddle (the original surface has become a trouser-grater) and later I hope to buy a longer M5 bolt and a 5-8-speed chain.

can you guess what I'm going be doing this weekend :smile: ?

New brake blocks/ carriers at Evans in Plymouth. £19.98 for the set. Then found identical in Go Outdoors for £13.48, and they included extra sets of blocks.
Won't be going to Evans again in a hurry...
Actually identical? Which brand? Go Outdoors is JD Sports so some care required IMO, like Sports Dreck and Wilkinson's. Which reminds me, I bought a YBN chain and Alhonga V blocks in Wilkinson's, both in own brand packets.

Funkier thermal winter tights ..
Rode all last year with Under Armour but these Funkier tights are superb ..
Very close fitting and great support , the inside pad is very comfy too ..
