Advantages: Will enhance riding confort and performance by untold amounts Disadvantages: Quite expensive at c.£50
...Being an increasingly keen participant in cross country mountain biking, I decided to kit myself out with the necessary clothing to ease the pain of those long rides. Not being one who is easily conned by clever marketing, and of course being a lifelong sceptic, it was out of character for me to follow recommendations to buy the Endura MT500 short. These may initially seem expensive at around £50, but believe me, for the money you will not be able to find any better. Long climbs become suddenly more comfortable, and you don't get the chafe around the seams as you would with cheaper shorts.
The kevlar seams are fully flatlocked, giving the short superb flexibility, and removes the embarrassing worry of the short giving way when the going gets a bit rough (see gorse grass and bramble attacks!). Further durability is provided...

...Cycling can be enormous fun, but it can be an absolute nightmare if the heavens open and you are 50 miles from home, in the pouring rain and the howling winds, with only your mountain bike and your own rapidly decreasing energy to get you back home.
The driving rain (and how you wish you had a car to drive at moments like these) quickly soaks through your clothes, leaving you soaked to the skin, shortly after your shoes are reduced to a soggy mess of materials on your feet.
Fearing hypothermia, you have no choice other than to continue across the desolate moors,
hoping your fingers wont freeze to the handlebars.
This happened to me, and the one thing I vowed after that experience, was next time I would be better prepared.
It has cost me some money to buy the clothes I will mention, but believe me, they are a very...

Advantages: My feet are in love with these boots Disadvantages: They're not cheap
...- one for each boot of course). I have no idea how they do it but it works - fewer seams, fewer leakage points
Lined with gortex membranes - so they breathe. When I'm wheezing on a hill my boots are breathing freely
Lined with gortex - so they are waterproof - yes, really, amazing. (Obviously if you step into a river and the water goes over the top then they aren't. But you should buy a set of those kinky fishing waders if that's what you are into).
Scruffy as heck because I don't clean them very often - after a while but you've gotta love em.
Brasher Superlites need:
To be worn and loved
To be treated once in a blue moon with a specialist cream that doesn't block the Goretex pores
Things you shouldn't do in Brashers
Let a guy on the side of the street clean them for you...

*Introduction*
When buying mascaras I usually stick with Maybelline as their mascaras have always worked well for me in the past. This mascara (known as 'Aqualash') was recommended to me by a friend so I decided to give it a go.

This mascara does exactly what it says on the tin. It gives amazing coverage and does not clog. When the pack is new it can come out a bit thickly so it is worth wiping excess off the brush before you use it. I usually use a cheaper mascara as an... more
