Hint...I think the shoes might come up big.

I got some of the brown cycling shoes in size 8. I am normally size 8.5-9 but the 8s fit me very well.

I've just got back from Aldi and tried on the base layer top. Well worth £16 for a 100% merino baselayer. I'm long armed and long bodied so find it could be a little longer but I'd say it was quite a standard size. I'm tempted to go back and buy another. Oh, I also picked up 3-packs of those coin cell batteries that go in bike computers - assuming they work, they're dead cheap at £2 a pack.

I'm back. I picked up a Daily Mirror but there was no voucher, turns out it was inside the Record instead. Went to Aldi at about 8:30, there was a few people hovering about and trying on jackets. They were fully stocked up.

I got lights, winter jacket, gloves, spoke reflectors, arm and leg warmers and overshoes. With the voucher it came to about £48 so very good value for money imho.

They had bib tights, base layers and jerseys which looked pretty good so I might go back later in the week if I have more £££

One in Prestwick was like a jumble sale by 0830 this morning! Still we managed to get what we wanted! In fairness the stuff feels pretty good quality so I'm happy.

I picked up some coin cell batteries too. They're a bit thinner than what came with my rear light, but work fine when tested. They are CR2016 v CR2032 so I'm guessing they won't last as long.

Went to my local Aldi this morning specifically for the Merino base layers and they had not received any stock. Store manager said they would have some by the weekend hopefully. So ended up buying some gloves, compression base layer, socks , winter jacket and gt85.
It will be pot luck now for me getting the merino base layers. Might also get a Merino shirt if they have some.

Winter Jackets were pretty much gone by 10am, just med and small left. Hunners o boil in the bag waterproofs though! Shoes look very plasticky and cheap. Merinos look good but I'm sorted for them. Bought the winter tights.

Dont say that I bought some of the "look like walking shoes" ones and I thought they looked ok! Saying that, I've only just started this cycling lark so what do I know?! :laugh:
