Fantastic cycling deals from Cannondale, SealSkinz & Endura

Winter is for adventures. The weather makes everything a little tougher, as we saw this #mycyclingweekend. Your morning prep takes a bit longer, and your choice of kit becomes even more important.

Your lithe carbon road bike may no longer cut it on roads that resemble country lanes more than the tarmac pancake-like surfaces you're used to.

So, in that vein, we've got an adventure bike from Cannondale, a Synapse disc brake-equipped bike at 25% off.

Then, depending on the weather out - which will go from bitingly cold, to relatively mild with a chilly wind over the next few weeks - we've got a pair of extra cold weather gloves from SealSkinz and an Endura Windproof gilet.

Finally, as you discovered this weekend, the weather's not going to be baltic all winter. There'll be plenty of spells where it's way to warm to slip into your SealSkinz Extra Cold Gloves, while being far too cold to go for a ride in your summer jersey.

In those circumstances it's very important to layer. To the experienced layerer, one of the most vital bits of kit is the gilet.

Having a decent gilet allows you to head out on a ride with little in the way of thermals, but with the knowledge that should a particularly penetrating wind disturb you, you'll be able to find some shelter.
