![]() Titanium is probrably the way to go. I saw a Ribble like yours Mike, but in the red & black colours, which I nearly bid on. But I have enough bikes at the mo. Went for £360 which wasn't a bad price for a nearly new frame

I got a Lidl winter top and gloves a couple of weeks back and the top is far too warm for wearing at the moment. It is very comfortable too!
I only have a carbon bike and will be attempting to ride all year round on my commute/ |

Took a longer route home tonight - 12.23 miles through rush hour traffic in 44:40, quickest 10miles was 34:53, which I was quite happy with considering I don't put in the miles like I used to.
I used my new Camelback Hawg NV for the first time today -3l bladder and big enough to fit in a towel, trousers, shirt, lunch etc for work. Once it is on you back you don't even know it is there - highly recommended!

My sodding ears were freezing this morning!!!
Found an old pair of running leggings to go over my shorts, much more comfortable that yesterday, when my legs were painfully cold! |

Garmin HRM arrived today so hoping to put it all to the test in the morning with a short 20 miler.
