They showed the carnage
They showed the carnage caused by the “accident” on South Today, I think it was to show the public the actual 4 dead ponies, very rare that, maybe the motorists might slow down a bit, or really look where they are going.
Don’t worry though, the good poeple of the New Forest will be blaming cyclists for all of their ills in a bit…

I save the neoprenes for the really wet days, I dislike the squidgeness on the bars.
I’m a big fan of Pearl Izumi
I’m a big fan of Pearl Izumi for winter gloves. I have four pairs for everything between proper minus up to the early teens, all different levels of insulation.
But gloves are a weird thing and very personal, and they have changes the designs since I last got a new pair. I don’t think there is a perfect pair that will do all things. You might have to buy a few to get the ones that work best for different conditions.
I have given up on the full waterproof and accepted the wet hands so I got some neoprene ones and they work.
Important: Make sure the manufacturer label is by the valve

You might notice the many sharp things going into the inside of the tyre, I did, and that was regularly checking for thorns and stuff. Each one found with a wry smile…
On my massive Plus tyres I took to topping up with an extra oz of Orange Endurance every month, with the cleaning whenever I change the tryes for changeing conditions. Though if there was liquid sealent left I’d suck it up with a big syringe and reuse, don’t know if it was a wise move, but that stuff is pricey.
For me tubeless has been a fun learning expreience, the only thing I find a nightmare is getting the first bead off, and the mechanic at my LBS (whose view I highly respect) advises agains the Cush Core Bead Dropper. It looked great.

Over the past year I got 3 different pairs of the Freerider varient, suitable for differing weather conditions. I was thet impressed with my Spitfire 5 10s.

No description of the driver as he had a Baklava covering his face 🙂

I had the first itteration of these on my Getting to Work Bike, 26 inch mind, they gave you much more confidence when the sparkly frost was present.
Trecherous on the leaf stuff and in any mud though.

It tends to happen less at the moment, the driver rarely wants the cold and wet getting in through the open window and spoiling their sealed environment.

What has the chestnut horsey done so that it’s face needs to be blurred?

Selle Italia do the early 90s
Selle Italia do the early 90s flite Ti, 1990 so a tad late, but still of the era.
It is still a VERY comfy saddle.
They have added a carbon nose, but the shape is exactly the same.
I have seen it in tan.
