Beat those Monday blues with a little bit of retail therapy today, courtesy of the DealCatcher and his incredible eye for a bargain.
In today's round-up of cycling goodies we've got a seasonally appropriate Mekk adventure bike - that's right, it's Classics season, which means you better be prepared for cobbles, or springtime potholled roads depending on where you live.
Second on the list is a cracking deal on a beautiful women's jersey from Specialized. The RBX Sport Jersey is perfect for crisp spring morning rides. The long sleeves coupled with a relaxed fit Soft Hydro material make perfect for those in-between weather weekends like the one we've just had.
Finally, check out Vanilla Bikes' offer on their range of Lusso Aqua Repel Cycling Jacket - the perfect remedy to those April showers which are undoubtedly on their way.

If early results are anything to go by, Brits and Pavé are a match made in heaven in 2016.
Sure, the small section of cobbles in last week's Paris Nice prologue won't be representative of the whole season, but with Geraint Thomas taking home the Yellow Jersey yesterday, our earlier assertion surely carries some clout. Right?
Anyway, if you want to join in on the cobbled fun, you'll need a bike that can handle them. This Mekk - aptly named the Pavé AL - will do just that.
It's an adventure bike, so it can handle the majority of roads you'd expect to encounter on an adventure. Bridleways, cobbles, incredibly potholled city streets all fall under the area of expertise for this aluminium, disc brake-equipped, carbon forked, Shimano Tiagra-running bike.
Leisure Lakes Bikes
As we mentioned in the opening paragraphs, this jersey is the perfect addition to your wardrobe at a time of year when it's very difficult to decide what on earth you're going to wear.
The long sleeves will protect you from those bitter morning winds, while the lightweight loose-fitting hydrophyillic SL Soft Hydro material will keep you dry and cool when the sun starts beating down on your back.
Vanilla Bikes
Are you ready for the April showers? They'll come. If they don't come in April, they'll come in May, or given the state of the climate we could have the wettest August ever.
If you want to keep riding in through these potentially very wet few months, you'll need a layer or two that'll stop you getting too wet to ride.
Here's one fantastic option for you at an unbeatable price.
The Lusso Aqua Repel jacket is a "well made, high performance jacket" according to our reviewer Andy Ward, who gave the jacket 8/10 when he reviewed it in February.
