I need decent, mild winter rainproof gloves. I see these are sold here for AU$27 (€15.52). Looks like I have found a pair of gloves.
Bear in mind the 2XL size barely fits my big hands. Please choose the size bigger than you would expect for your hands.
P.S. I'm surprised how many good European products are available in Australia! On the other hand, we greatly appreciate the Australian Knog brand. Jacek's team has won Knog tail-lights for their relay race!
I gave my brother a Garmin 540 as a reward for the race. He is a long time user of Garmin Edge 530. The first thing he noticed was the USB-C charging/data port, "Wow!" and then it was only better. The 540 is so much superior compared to the 530 it is hard to imagine! (
@DaveMatthews!) OTH, Jacek passed his cadence sensor as a gift for Tommy, We will make Tommy a serious cyclist!
Something you all might be interested in. Schwalbe Marathon Winter Plus tyres 50-622 are extremely heavy (1250 g per tyre). Those tyres allowed Jacek to win the relay race for his team. However, he could immediately notice how slow those tyres were! He was actually struggling with any climb with his Marin DSX3 bike! Still, given the black ice, it was the tyre for the win
The next competing team lost on bad timing: they set off for the race during a snowfall... making them 10 hours slower!
A funny story:
"Jacek, why did you name your team Plan C?"
"Well, I was chosen as a substitute rider for the competing team. As they really didn't want me, I chose riders for my own 3 people team, and I called it Plan B. Then, I found a
horse willing to ride in the 4-piece team. So that became Plan C"
I'm so proud for my brother! He planned everything, directed everything, and rode for 6 hours on black ice at night for the team win!
