A new alpkit gamma headtorch, to replace the one which mysteriously died - after a decade of faultless service.

Never heard a name associated with that curve, either - despite growing up in the spirograph era... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spirograph Edit - apparently, we are still in that era... https://www.amazon.co.uk/Original-Spirograph-CLC03111-Design-Set/dp/B01BM616BM/ref=asc_df_B01BM616BM/?tag=goog...

I'll cut an inch off mine, for you...Quite a few on here have bought a jacket that's too big or too small. Personally, I'd like it if my Outdry had sleeves that were at least an inch longer

New dog day and new bike day are hard to separate, on the overall scale of things.
New trail dog day - now there's a special day.

Now need to decide if I can be bothered to do a wet 26km ride, in order to meet a nice round figure for the year

Count me in.
Managed to shed a few kilos, last year, but seem to have stabilised, so need to focus on the next 5 or 6 kilos.
