Turbo Trainers

Want to keep your riding up, but don't want to don the wet weather
gear, then what about a turbo trainer.
You can set your bike into the trainer and then ride away to your
hearts content in the warm and dry. These are adaptable to most bikes from
road to MTB.
You can still use your gears and have an adjustable remote to alter the
difficulty of the trainer to provide you with resistance. This will allow
you to tailor your workout whether you are looking for a cardio vascular
workout or stamina building resistance training.
Starting at £99 for this model which has a magnetic unit, so its quiet
and free running, with a remote adjuster.
Winter time can be harsh when you go out for your ride. If like me you
suffer from the cold, you need to look at layering your clothes.

Start with a base layer, which is very soft and high wicking. It will
keep you warm and dry. This base layer is an essential start as it traps
warm air in close to your body.
Altura Inter Base layer £19.99
 
Then add a jersey. If you already have a short sleeve shirt from summer
riding, use a long sleeve base layer to keep your arms a little bit warmer
and use the short sleeve jersey. If you haven't already got one, then
consider a long sleeved version for added warmth.
Altura Jerseys from £19.99
DeMarchi Jerseys from £39.99

A windproof jacket is an excellent choice. Can be used as a top layer
if the weather is dry, or under a waterproof jacket if we are having
another typical British summer.
Altura Stream windproof jacket £39.99
DeMarchi windproof jacket £69.99
 
A nice jacket is an important layer. You want something which is
waterproof, but not too hot to wear. Thick enough to trap the air in and
keep you warm, but not bulky that you can't carry it around in a bag with
you. Its definitely worth looking at the Altura Nevis and Night Vision
jackets. Similar jackets, but the Night Vision is a great option for
community and night riding as it offers a lot in the way of visibility and
has an optional hood. They both offer you a lightweight waterproof jacket,
with adjustable cuff, rear pocket (that the jacket will also fold into),
dropped tail, twin side and rear vents for airflow.
Night Vision - £59.99
Available in yellow and grey
Nevis - £49.99
Available in blue, grey and yellow
