Cheers Dave, but I need some proper skin type base layers to go underneath a jersey.

Samdy - for gloves have a look at Aldi's winter gloves - only £5 but do a good enough job to be worth 5 times that.

The chap who I was out with at the weekend had a pair and said they were great. Admittedly they may not last ages but at that price who cares how long they last ?

Can you buy the Aldi gloves on-line?

In terms of base layer I use Helly Hanson Life long sleeve jerseys and they do a very good job of keeoping warm and keeping sweat off your skin, reasonably priced as well.

Cheers for the Aldi tip, I'll take a look.

I bought some stuff from Lidl earlier in the year when they had a deal on cycling gear and it's pretty decent quality.

 There maybe some Moulton afficianados out there, who are today mourning the death of Alex Moulton designer of the eponymous bike.

 I know a few lads, mostly mad as boxes of frogs, who rarely ride or buy anything else...Wiltshire connection to boot.

Have a look at the heritage section  Smiley

If you live in Bradford on Avon any kind of bike is worthless!

All hills and River.

Think you'll find mountain bikes are made for hills.....

And don't forget the K&A goes right though BOA. Lovely ride from Bath to Devizes along the tow path, with a fine selection of pubs to drink/eat in.

I popped in this morning and bought some - they are "thinsulate" so a pretty good buy all round.

All proper cyclists love hills.

Think I'll need heated grips with the way the weather's going lately.

And as for hills, going down them is fun. Only proper mentalists enjoy going up them, like those that go to France just to cycle the Alpe d'Huez.

The gloves are really good - you need to get a big size to allow a layer of air to circulate and give you room if you want to wear liners.

My toes are the biggest problem for me despite two pairs of socks and shoe covers - I've even taped up the ventilation holes. You can get battery operated heated insoles but thats seems a bit drastic. I suffer when I go skiing as well

Hmm, possibly. Was going to try and do a few charity rides next year anyway.

The Prospect Hospice do a ride around April time. There's also a London to Brighton night ride.

There is a really good New Forest ride by Orchid Male Cancer - there are routes ranging from 18 (trails) to 30, 45,& 60 miles. I've done it the past 3 years and its really nice. I've alos did Blenheim SPortive which was excellent.
