Anyone out there embracing the festive spirit??? and no those hats aren't very aero, the slightest headwind and it feels like your neck is about to snap off.

    They don't appear to have mudguards so I wouldn't fancy washing the suits. :)

    I think they are only going to be used for one season anyway as after its maiden voyage I had worn a hole in the crotch of mine, must have been plenty moving from side to side down there :wink:

    My ride looks like this ....


    E2F334A2-420D-4DD9-A83E-0184C941DD4A.jpg

    but I'm wearing normal gear - although I do have a red jacket so slightly "festive" ...
    I've got a santa hat to go on top - but it doesn't fit over the lid - so a bit of bodging required ...

    Noice :D

    Our hats didn't so our resident king of coat hangers and cable ties came up with a master plan and pimped them, the lights inside the hat really finish it off.

    This is where it's at - http://www.strava.com/clubs/jinglebells

    Santa hats were made by bending a coat hanger in half and loads of cable ties. Looks good. Also looks like the KKK in silhouette.

    heh - I top the leader board for longest ride and most climbing last week ... longest ride is correct ... most climbing ... nah - it recons I do ~500feet more climbing on my ride home than I do - all in the first 1/2 mile as I take the GPS from office temperature to close to zero ...
