My Ortlieb bag arrived today
Brought it into work tonight as it looked like rain - need to do something to stop the extra length of the straps flapping around.

Ordered an out-front Garmin mount to have something to look forward to...

Garmin Edge 520. Was due an upgrade to my 500 which still works fine but my K-Edge mount has eaten one of the tabs away. Also, new toy to keep me focused on winter training.

Bought a new race bike a few months back. So obviously needed a new winter bike too. Cannondale CAAD8 105 on the way. Plus a Praxis BB and a 105 Crankset for it so I can use my 4iiii Power Meter crank. I'm very broke.

Which one did you get? I got a large Ortlieb saddle bag a couple of weeks ago for Audaxing, but it's actually big enough to fit my work clothes if I leave a few things (shoes, trousers etc) in the office beforehand. And it works great as a rear mudguard. Really brilliant saddle bag.
