Another Aldi cycling event coming up - 26Sep

[SquareDaff]

Same as last year IIRC

I just thought they'd stuck and extra £1 or 2 on everything. For instance - could have sworn that the tools were £14.99 last year and not £16.99.

Well given there might be a potential hygeine issue, perhaps they should ban any sweaty cyclists from riding up to try any of the gear on in the shop....that just leaves everyone else in car and vans who can do the 'try before you buy'

There were motorbike riders in my local holding up the overshoes and looking most bewildered.

Ahh Bourbon biscuits. Wonder if they are a good mid cycle snack

Well they're 86 calories each, so maybe. Just don't sit and eat half the pack in one sitting like I just have

Could be a good shout for them TBH. I'm on my motorbike today, but I've been caught out in the past on it....got goretex lined motorbike boots now so in fairly good shape (cost a packet though)

If your only exposure to the place has come from watching Butterflies perhaps.

Given the vast majority of people I know/work with from Gloucester and Tewkesbury actually tend do their socialising in Cheltenham, they have a better idea that some randomer on an internweb forum...

 

[Spinney]

You'd expect Cheltenham to be a bit more civilised!
Tewkesbury probably had a gentle stream of grannies wondering where all the Murray mints were.

Disuaded a granny in Thornbury from buying winter cycling trousers as she wanted them for something warm to go under her normal trousers - pointed out the padded bum and steered her in the direction of the longjohns instead!

Couldn't get to the store until 3pm, luckily they had plenty of stock left of the items I wanted.

Winter jacket, jersey, trousers and skullcap, not sure about the skully it's a bit of a weird fit and the trousers are slightly long (though this might be that my legs are slightly short )
Jacket and jersey both excellent and will be addd to my winter collection

Looked for a medium merino for @fossyant but they are all gone, there was however another voucher in the Mirror for 27p off a pack of bakewell slices

I tend to not socialise at all if I can help it, but my time is probably spent equally between Cheltenham, Gloucester and Tewkesbury, as all our friends live in Tewkesbury, but there is bugger all there, so we often end up in Cheltenham.

They are all dives really, but Cheltenham is probably still just slightly better than Gloucester. My first girlfriend was from Cheltenham, use to spend almost all day everyday there..

Thank Christ we split up and could get away from the place.

If she was as bonkers as one I was going out with before I settled down, it was a wise move

Begest problem with the nightlife in the town is the students. They have no idea how to behave after sniffing the barmaids apron.

 

[Tcr4x4]

She was certifiable grade A bonkers. In fact she kept messaging my now wife, then new girlfriend saying how she wanted me back and she was going to steal me.

 

[fossyant]

Wife just suggested I get whatever larger size merino base I can and she will alter it. Off to rthe shop near home

What sort of D-lock was required?

 

[Deleted member 20519]

Got the leg warmers and they're a lot longer than last years, I like the zips though

 

[beatlejuice]

I went to Lidl by mistake. Fuming I were when they'd failed to get their stock out early....Doh!

I am glad that I am not the only one who has done that!

 

[fossyant]

Mission accomplished
