LizzyB - Not worn the longs yet, lazy me, but I bought the spinning shorts & top for the gym. Very good kit indeed ! Shorts are more sturdy than the light lycra you usually get. Can't remember how much they were though. Doh !
but most recent addition is lovely QR TeQuilo which I built up myself... Now trying to find excuses not to buy her some sexy new carbon booties to go with her... (help!!)
Oh yum. Kit talk. I've just ordered a pathfinder jacket, narvik shirt and ranger trousers from Extreme Outdoor Clothing - fab kit for long winter walks.
I ran in my brand spanking new very high viz jacket yesterday! Everyone could see me, even the milkman who didn't run me over like he usually tries to.
It's even got a pocket in the back for when all the other ones are full!
Just bought a Snugfit Softie 9 sleeping bag. Comfortable to -10. Lovely. And some Bridgedale Coolmax socks. And just ordered a long sleeve and a short sleeve Serpie cycling tops.
On the down side, had my old mountain bike nicked the night before last.

I've just stroked my new seat post ... it's a Miche Super Type ... on special offer at www.oldhamcyclecentre.co.uk, only £19.99 .
It's a thing of beauty ... black, ultra lightweight (but NOT carbon fibre - aluminium), very aerodynamic ... oooh....
We've also just ordered (again from oldhamcylecentre) a Gist Fluid turbo trainer to keep us amused during those cold winter days ....
Oooh... now lets talk about shiny aluminium ....
Habe you worn them yet (serious kit testing question, not a 'lets talk about men's underwear'question).

just as well you have something snuggly to resort to, Richard...
(Its a Snugpak not a Snugfit by the way - still thinking about those England rugby shirts obviously).
Any OTHER accomodation available for Tough Guy ? ;-)
Downer about your MTB though. Bless it.
