Boast about your latest purchases here...

[DJR]

I wish you were right, though. Coldest day in Toronto last winter was -38C.

I will keep riding but will stop when it gets beyond -10C.

This morning it was a lovely 14C so no need for any of my purchases....yet! 

At -10 most Saffas would be crying for their mommies from under their duvets, let along riding their bicycles. Respect.

Customs must have killed you no ?

 

Nope, got lucky (again) and only got charged VAT and no duties 

 

Saved a good few grand that I immediately dumped into a XT 12-speed upgrade kit for the bike. (Only to find that I need a new crank, chainring and derailleur hanger as well   )

it is like buying two pairs of grips with one pair meant to be a spare and then it becomes the starting point of a whole new bike build!

We are the North!

 

Most mornings I leave the house in short sleeves when going to work even though its 16C outside. It's amazing how you change when live in a new country. Tomorrow at 05:30,14C with 40% chance or rain. Cycle I will!

Any sort sort of physical activity at anything above 10° makes me cry - I overheat. I don't know about neg 10 but I wish the weather here was colder! But then again I am the guy that walks around in shorts and slops in London over Christmas and shows up to Jonkershoek mid winter in summer clothes (in fact I don't even own a pair of arm warmers).

I'm this guy   - anything below plus 10 and I cry for my mommy. Although I was slightly tougher this year with my new Assos thermal bib.  Not that tough mind you, I didn't ride K2C because the weather looked awful and my duvet was a better option.

In my defense I don't mind the cold as much on a road bike but I'm soft.

Good morning everyone

So I don’t like the big bulky edge 800 on mu stumpy. So i got a watch.

 

 

And then i also got these slicks for the amashova on my hardtail from a very generous fellow rider. It makes a huge difference. And im enjoying them.

I might have accidentally tripped and bought a smart trainer.

[awesme]

I found that my trainer  (Wahoo Kickr) + TrainerRoad was the absolutely best money ever spend on my cycling.

3 yrs later have not changed my mind.

Don't let your downhill friends find out about this Duane - or they'll NEVER stop pulling your leg!

Is your big toe okay?

 

You seem to trip often.

I'm hoping that all the "your eyes will open" "it all makes sense" analogies are true.
