    Hi-dee-hi campers! :P

    So last week, the box of stuff arrived and was left to one side as I was out sick. Of course, they forgot to tell me this when I came back in on Monday! Anyway, I found it yesterday, cracked it open and I should have things ready to collect this afternoon after lunch (I have some other stuff that I can't put off this morning I'm afraid).

    I'll be here till 6 this evening, and most evenings, but I'm happy to wait for you if you're not gonna be able to get in till closer to 7 folks.

    As before, if you'd like someone else to collect your stuff for you, you'll need to send me a PM saying that you've asked them to do so.

    Collected for myself and OldBean this evening.

    Many thanks to Dav for holding on at the office for so long that he's being kept alive intravenously.

    Also to Hunterbiker for Organising and Koutoubia for organising the next run.

    A user named Koutoubia never organised an order before. FACT

    Not to be a dick or anti-lols, but that's still a bit of a crappy comment.

    Besides, in my brief enough meeting of Koutoubia, he's one of the good guys.

    Full trust in him for the next order.

    Cheers K! See you in spring!

    Seriously, comments like the one you made don't help anyone. I know you're mates and that your post was made in jest, and I know a lot of others around here know that. However not everyone does and when posters see posts like that they may think it's the sort of stuff we allow anyone to post, and either start making similar comments, or may be put off from posting at all for fear of being subject to similar "banter".

    Picked mine up today. Fits great, and I'm looking forward to trying it out on my days off. When they said the defend was aero they weren't lying. I had better get as much use in before christmas as possible. I may not fit in afterwards.
    Thanks to Hunterbiker for organising

    Think I might have been first in to collect a pair of bib tights. They look and fit well but I haven't had a chance to try them out on the bike yet thanks to this crazy weather.

    Thanks to both Dav & Hunterbiker for organising the order.

    Got to put the Defender arm warmers through their paces last night & this morning - have to say I'm impressed so far.

    I'm glad I ignored the size guide which was suggesting I needed XL - I went for L and they are just the right tightness (although I did manage to punch myself in the face when putting them on for the first time :o). The only thing is they must be designed for ape-armed cyclists and could do with being a couple of inches shorter! Because the Boards logo is at the wrist it ends up a little bunched up but I can live with that.

    Material is really nice too. Would have loved a Defender jersey but funds didn't allow for it at the time of ordering! :(

    Overall a happy bunny - thanks again boys! :)

    Is this still going or has it finished? My first winter cycling and after thismorning, I don’t think the football top and shorts will cut it anymore, it’stoo cold even after you warm up. If itis too late, can someone give me an idea of what sort of gear is recommendedfor winter cycling in Dublin? I’ve seenother cyclists with those leggings but I haven’t got a clue where to start.

    Thanks.
