    I did this last year and it went down well so thought I would make an early start as I am struggling to pin point one.

    What was your best cycling related purchase this year?

    It can be a bike, parts, tools, books, clothing/kit, event tickets, etc.

    Or a 2010 Spesh Element jacket (also in sale!) very toasty and very well made.

    Northwave winter boots. I have warm and dry feet plus I don’t mangle a set of overshoes every three months on my commute.

    Sealskinz lobster gloves. They take a bit of getting used to but I have warm hands at last!

    An Exposure flare rear light, small, tough and really bright.

    Entry to the Dartmoor Classic and the Fred Whitton 4 Seasons. The Classic was brilliantly organised and the Fred is just an incredible, epic day out on the bike.

    A few things for me – making the transition from MTB to CX to road bike, I got a Van Nicholas Mistral for my LeJog, which has been phenomenal so far.

    Overshoes – who’s have thought that summer cycling shoes don’t have to be freezing in the winter?!?

    Garmin Edge 500 – easy to set up (i.e. turn it on) and even easier to transfer between bikes.

    My Swrve mid-weight WWR 3/4’s shorts.

    Much better than my old Rapha 3/4 and been brilliant in the winter with long socks.

    Though second favourite is my Rapha merino collar!

    Love my New kona Zing Deluxe but its gotta be the SPEEDPLAY pedals, so much freedom, security and stability. I can really trash the pedals now.

    1) Cyclist mag – really enjoying the 2 issues I have had so taken out the 3 for a fiver sub. (again if anyone has issue 1 or 2 that they are chucking out please let me know as I will send an SAE for it)

    I did have them, I’ll check to see if I threw them out or not.

    Thanks – I did ask the publisher but they are out and won’t be getting more.
