That first week back at work is over with, the Christmas pounds are beginning to burn off, and things are getting back to normal. Which means it's time to start thinking ahead to the spring, right?
As if you needed more help fantasising about warmer weather and the potential of sunny trips across The Channel, today's DealCatcher should get you in the mood to start planning.
La Vie en Velo offers highly organised cycling trips to Europe for exceptional prices. In today's DealCatcher we're looking at the company's Spring Classics offer.
Other than that today's DealCatcher has a very good-looking commuter jersey from Altura, and some energy bars from Science in Sport to round things off.

La Vie en Velo know, as well as we do, that Spring is one of the most exciting times of year for cycle racing. So they've created this package to get as many of you over to Europe to experience some of that excitement first hand.
If you're a Monument fan, but haven't ever made it on to the Continent to get a taste of the action, now's your chance.
La Vie en Velo is in charge of transport - for both you and your bike - the company will book hotels, fill itineraries, and point you and your fellow cyclists towards the best spots to eat and the best sights to take in.
All you'll have to worry about is enjoying your time in the saddle!

At a third off, and with a solid road.cc review for the range, what's not to like?
Science in Sport
If the cold's getting you down, or the rain's sapping your energy, Science in Sport's GO Energy + Caffeine Gels can give you a boost.
Seriously, the boost should lift your legs and your spirits. Our man Caven O'Hara thinks so, at least.
He said "there's a definite lift in how you feel, but you will need to restrict how many you use on a ride." Let that be a sign that the things work!
Just from that one picture, it seems obvious to me that the separate bike lane turns off to the left through a modal filter, so cyclists who want...
There's a hashtag in there: #AtoBnotA&E
and if the device is stationary, closing speed = vehicle speed. could be an interesting way of doing traffic speed surveys.
Same here, and the bottle never leaves my hand afterwards either...
Going by updates, it looks like Chris' supplies were actually (accidentally?) donated to a local food bank. He now has them back.
LOL, it was Grace o Groats, that was John's mother; he didnt bring the correct messages from the Shop in scotland and had to go back again.
I expect a driver to be able to judge for himself how far he can move over without tipping over. If he does tip the tractor over into a ditch on...
It is likely that they drive worse, as on a bike they have some sense of vulnerability, which tempers their risk taking somewhat. In a car with...
No. You must have missed the memo about the new HC rules which put the onus firmly on the bigger, more powerful vehicle operator.
Windproof is so important, much more important IMO than waterproof....
