Decisions, decisions..

Payday Monday.

On the one hand my winter/night riding layers are ****e. They've shrunk, they're bulky, too warm to begin with, when they get wet they stay wet, then they're bloody freezing. OK while I'm still moving but if I had to stop for any length of time it could get ropey. On the other hand my tyres, particularly the rear, are lethal on slippery roots. They're slowing me down and eventually they're going to get me whacked hard.

So what do you reckon..

A) Icebreaker base layers.
B) Hutchinson Bulldogs 2.3 Tubeless
C) Some balls, you whinging ninny!
Base layers for sure, a cold rider is not a happy one and more prone to crashing. And no tyre is going to give you grip on a wet root so you'd be disappointed to spend 40 yo yos and still be sliding around the place.

I think you have reached a milestone in your life Don
I can imagine you standing up at your weekly Traction Anonymous meeting and saying that...

Don: "Hello, my name is Don and I am a tyre-fiend, I have been fruitlessly seeking traction in Djouce woods for the past 5 years"
All: "Hello Don"
Don: "It has been 3 weeks since my last tyre purchase"
All: (roars of support and much applause)
Don: (teary-eyed smile as he spots printed-media hoe Byrne sitting in the crowd)

I'm laughing here!
Hold on Junior Ginger..I was on a kids show and the RTE News as a concerned outdoor action person..I haven't been on Crimewatch since The General was shot !!
Check out pattagonias base layers in their outlet in town, about half the price of the icebreaker ones and longer.
Patagonia shop on exchequer street is the way forward..it's THE european factory outlet for Patagonia. So it's dirt cheap for seriously top class gear, and when they decide to have a sale the prices are just silly..
eg 12 euro for an rrp 60euro baselayer
