The "I should have left the credit card at home" thread

Ryaner

There hoping so. Opening the CRC website is a risky business these days.

I also put an order in with CRC on Monday. The order said processing and I was worried about something not being in stock and delaying my order so I rang them at midday today, they said my order had left the warehouse and was awaiting collection, it should be shipped today.
I went with the standard delivery, not sure it it'll make it on time, I should have gone for priority delivery.

Yeah I went with the 24 hour priority delivery, here's hoping it'll arrive before Friday (delivery address is work).

OK, I'll bite - why do they shave their legs?

Is it something more to do with comfort?

Interesting!

I always thought it was to do with drag.

Yea... men shaving their legs is all about drag and comfort.

Image shows the process a typical male cyclist goes through before/during/after he 'shavings legs for drag'

........and unfortunate choice of word on my part, but I couldn't spell aerodynamics.....

CRC got back to me (quick too, fair play), the Nuun tablets I ordered were out of stock, here's hoping with the 24hr delivery I'll still get the stuff by Friday in work!

I was happy enough with Wiggle and CRC and a few other smaller sites - all these other sites are wrecking my head - too much choice!!!!

You can get another job as a courrier, the maps of 705 will help you

Anyway.. it's not funny. If you think that your position is shaking, then put the card on the fridge. 10% won't save you, but 400euro might get you over a couple of months super market.

Garmin battery life: 15 hours

I just replaced the battery on my Polar. It lasted 3 years. Enough said.

Does that price include the maps? If no add another €43 or so for proper maps for it Uk/Ireland maps.

I got one recently off ebay 705, Cadence, HR. and it came in at about €320 then had to get the maps for it which added to the price.
