    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 ...
