Hi everyone,

Just wondered if any of you got any cool cycling gear for Christmas that you'd like to reccommend. I got a pair of Specialized MTB winter gloves that were much needed! I only had a pair of lightweight ones before, but my hands were freezing in the cold weather the past couple of weeks! Nothing else just yet but I did get quite a bit of money so I'm wondering what to get now...

Its rideable as most of it is built (just waiting on the Stem/Bars & Neoguard)

Gonna try it properly tomorrow at Cannock (maybe in the snow!!)

Not sure it was 'cool', but I got a Turbo-trainer to help prepare for LeJog later in the year whilst the weather is bad. This reduces the effectiveness of my 'reasons to not go to the gym tonight' excuse compendium by 50% at least. Receiving it was one of those 'oh....oh great, thanks' moments and for perhaps the first time in my life I found myself wishing for socks, and an awful knitted jumper.

Ha, Lol...

On the upside though, at least you shouldn't be worn out on LeJog after all the exercise!!

I got a Carrera mountain bike which I was chuffed about.

We've still got a lot of snow up here near Newcastle though so I haven't had the chance to ride it yet -.-

Proper winter gloves sound like a good idea, I resorted to my ski gloves :P
