Bought some new cycling clothes, arrived today.
From GCN, in their Black Friday Sale. 1 long sleeved jersey, two pairs of bib shorts. These may be the cheap end of the clothing market, but still way better than what I had before, which were also wearing out, particularly the shorts.

Something missing from trying to remove the car from my life as much as possible was a way of picking up our takeaways. I hate delivery services as its always poor and if its out of certain distance walking is not feasible, so I have been after a bargain on one of these styles of bags for a while.
£10 off facebook I think it has never been used, will be great for shopping too.

My Aldi winter gloves have not really performed that well on the sub 0 days and in particular have been quite poor in the rain so I was on the look out for something waterproof, warm and we'll priced.
I ordered a couple of pairs of tegera work wear gloves, the all black and green pair are rated for contact with -10C and the thicker white pair to -30C so I expect comfort level of about 5C for the thin and cold enough for the others.
£30 for the two pairs, let's see how they hold up.

I have been using 32 mm Marathon green guard on my Boardman CX . I don’t think you will be disappointed with the puncture resistance. Having said that , I ordered some Marathon Supremes from Merlin , they arrived today . I’m hoping for a livelier ride without sacrificing to much puncture protection .

I got some of the Aldi Cycling Chinos which arrived tonight, colour is not my normal style, but happy with the fit.
Gonna give them a a whirl tomorrow morning and see how they stand up to my commute, since for the last week or so I have had to carry in some jeans to change into as it's not been shorts temperature in the office, so hopefully these will cover both roles well.
Photo to show the colour.

So today was the first day out in the Cycling Chinos and the Thick gloves and I think it was an unfair test. Torrential rain for the full 45 mins. The chinos certainly kept me warm but where pretty much soaked by 5 mins in. The gloves held out for about 35 mins before I felt any moisture, this seemed to have wicked through where the thum loops of my jacked met it. based on how much water then have absorbed though they certainly did a good job.
Hopefully everything drys by home time.... and to make it better all three of my meetings today have been moved to Zoom
