Back to work

Well that's it all over again for another year  so i now have 11months of hard training to make room for all next years chocolates and alcohol and during this period i will try and give you honest tests on everything i can except chocolate, apart from celebrations truffles as there just class although after almost one tub the word celebration is not the first thing that pops to mind. Somewhere above or below should be some pics of Giro's offering into the shoe market, now we wont actually get these until February so no ridey testie stuff until then however they are very nice in the flesh as in most cases pics just dont do them justice.

Three offerings for the Roadie the Trans, Factor and Prolight six. The trans is the entry level shoe 2 straps 1 buckle and an EC70 carbon sole a very nice general use shoe the Factor with it's EC90 carbon sole gets a little lighter then there is the prolight which is the top end super light racing shoe, no buckle  but an EC90 SLX (woop woop) sole and to be honest their all nice it's a shoe for god sake how amazing can they be but saying that we will try them soon but what i really do like is that instead of a million different insoles sold separately with the prolight only i believe you get a fairly std insole but with different arch supports that can be swapped and interchanged to give a more custom approach and Retul allegedly helped with the design so they should work quite well and for the really weight conscious among you you also get a waffer thin mesh insole that's super floatie light for race day, personally my weight problems are much higher up than my feet so in my case they wont make much difference but i have discovered that any pocket on my cycling atire designed to take a gel is perfect for those small dairy milk bars you can buy although if wearing white open the choc at arms length as it get's quite soft after the first 30 mins of a ride people and melted choc on light colour lycra isn't a good look for anyone. Mmmmm hungary now night folks.
