'Order Status processing_promised' !!!!

I'm at:

"Please note, your order will not be processed until funds have cleared. This can take 2-14 days depending on payment method (Bancontact, EPS, giropay, iDEAL, Przelewy24, Sofort)."

(I ordered three - hope we both get ours!)

Aldi Winter Running Trousers. £8.
I turned down the cycling ones for these which 'seem' far better.
12 % elastane 88% recycled polyester. The 'winter insert' covers thigh to knee. The two big pockets are zipped.
Plus there is a fairly discrete reflective band on the lower leg.

Medium is 33 to 35", also has a lace tie at the waist. Initial impression is that these are the best I have for above 0C winter, that probably being due to the added zips.

Are they baggy at all prefer tight tbh.
I might have to pay for parking this lunch time!🤣🤣🤣

Bit of looseish below waist, fairly tight below knees.
Only on 2nd use now but deemed worth the risk.

A lot more reliable, maintainable (and cheap to replace!) than "brifters". Doesn't say if they're indexed - with 7sp I'd almost prefer friction, but whatever ...

It's a bag of poop (the bike), won't last five minutes as a winter bike.

If not a bargain, bloody good value.

I bought two pairs, keep losing sunglasses.

That's unfair, it'll definitely last 5 minutes.

It's the next day after though when the rot sets in.

Saw a post about bargain 'roof' tents on Singletrack at Wiggle, but no delivery, but came across camping tents at upto 80% off. I've just ordered an Nordisk Utgard Sky tent and zip in sleeping unit for £230. It's over £1k usually ! Given we're giving up the static, and our current tent's aren't that big, this will be great. Let's see if it turns up.

This is why I always buy cheap sunglasses for cycling - they always get lost, scratched or broken.

What have you done?! You've now got me looking at tents even though I didn't camp this year and already have 2!

Some reductions on jerseys at Cyclestore. Mostly odd sizes and I find the quoted rrp to be a bit dubious, but £12 for a branded Jersey isn't bad.

Quite a few clothes reduced in individual sections. Shame the site is so clunky to navigate.
