BARGAIN HUNT - 30

Quite a few deals to take a look at this weekend as the bargains ramp up again ahead of the Christmas rush.


First up are Ribble Cycles, who are offering a mighty 25% off winter clothing for this weekend only. I know the temperatures are holding up at the moment, as I discovered on my ride home from work this evening, but we all know that at some point soon we will be suffering in the teeth of those lazy northerly and easterly winds that blow relentlessly chilling us to the bone.


Proper winter kit will keep us on the road in comfort and Ribble have some great deals. 25% off jackets, bib-tights, overshoes, head wear, socks, arm warmers, leg warmers and base layers. You name it they have it on sale. My pick of the bunch? Well, that would be all the Castelli kit - an uber-stylish way to stay toasty warm on the bike this winter...


Always Riding are offering £20 off baskets of £150 or more until 15th November. Just use the code FWXX222 at checkout to get the saving. 


After some Sidi cycling shoes? Maybe you fancy cooking up a pair like messrs Basso and Nibali on that really annoying eurosport ad? Well now's your chance as Merlin Cycles are offering 20% off their already competitive prices on any pair of Sidis. Just use SIDI20 at checkout to take advantage of this one. This brings the rather excellent Genius 5 Pros down to £134.95...


Fancy some free energy chews? Well, I say 'free' but of course there's a catch. But if you fancy spending a not unsubstantial £50 on the ZipVit website they will throw in a case of short dated stock energy chews, worth £30. Just use the code ZV10 at checkout. Not sure your dentist will thank you mind...

Finally, and I surely have left the best 'til last? Do you run a Garmin sat-nav? Maybe you have the team kit, you know all the riders' names, you’ve even thought about learning a second language to prove you are a cycling superfan! Well here is your chance to take the next step in argyle fandom – download Garmin’s newest GPS voice from the Garmin Garage later this month and let the unpredictable Dave Zabriskie act as your copilot. This free voice for your navigator is Garmin's way of saying thank you for your support!
