ENDURA FS260 PRO KNITTED OVERSOCK £12.99

Need a last minute present for that cyclist in your life, then get them a pair of these...I love a good over sock, so much better than the thick neoprene rubber overshoes in winter. The thing with a good sock is that it should keep your feet warm but not overheat, simply keeping the chill off. I have warn these at temperatures of below zero and they still work a treat. They come up long to keep your ankles warm which is an added bonus and are not too tight on your leg too.

When pulling on a sock one of the common complaints is that they snag and pull threads on the material - so far this winter not once has a thread caught or pulled and they still look as good as new, in fact I have had these covered in road crud and have returned home with them almost grey. One wash later and they are still as good as new.

So what doesn't work as good I hear you ask. Well personally I would have bought one size down as the toe is slightly baggy but that's miner. However there is no cut out for the heel and of course I am now creating my own even with my limited walking, a design "fault" I think Endura should have thought of really.

At the £12 - £15 price bracket its money well spent for something that does the job. They come in white or black so easy to match up with your kit.

Go on treat that cyclist in your life with a stocking filler

AND SO IT BEGINS.........

The first post of an expat brit, cyclist and British Cycling Coach trying to survive in Italy. With a lovely Italian wife to guide me through the trials and tribulations of living #ladolcevita and understanding just how things get and not get done in Italy. Normally via who you know and not what you know..

There will be reviews of equipment, cycling "Italian style", my own training updates/progress as well as general day to day life living with the Azzurri. I hope you enjoy sharing my ups and downs the good times and not so good and like me can try to smile when it doesn't quite go my way...which in the first month has seen me been invariably defeated by Italian bureaucracy on a grand scale.

Most of the people have now got used to me in the village...that crazy englishman always riding his bike - he must be crazy he moved to Italy when we are all trying to get out of here !!

Next step on the  road to embracing italian life is to join a cycle club and of course Federazione Ciclistica Italiana so that I can at least compete in something and transfer my coaching accreditation too ( more paperwork). Time for a quick skip back to blightly before Christmas to see the family then back for Crimble Italian style - homemade lemoncello already made ;)

Parlare Presto
