Howies Slate River jacketFriday Schwag Grab: Howies Slate River Jacket worth £130!
We've just had a couple of FX bikes in to test from Trek, and the lovely Jez who dropped them off (in exchange for Tiffin and coffee) also came up with a top bit of schwag for us to give away: a Howies Slate River waterproof jacket worth £130! And all you have to do is post to be in the hat.
Not only a posh jacket but a famous one: it's been featured on the Howies Blog, modelled by the big man himself. No choice of sizes I'm afraid, we've only got one and it's a large. It's in royal blue with Bontrager and Gary Fisher embroidered logos on the front and sleeve – it did come from Trek, after all...
Same rules as ever: just post a comment on this story saying you want it and you're in the draw. We'll pull a name from a receptacle next Friday, round about 3pm. The judges' decision etc. No cash prize will be yadda yadda.
Dave is a founding father of road.cc, having previously worked on Cycling Plus and What Mountain Bike magazines back in the day. He also writes about e-bikes for our sister publication ebiketips. He's won three mountain bike bog snorkelling World Championships, and races at the back of the third cats.

Thanks. I guess the question is "need". If the road is busy, it sounds like it is a desired route between places? In which case (given this an...

Don't know what you mean. I thought my suggestion was entirely practical.

Not interested unless you have it in PINK!
A jacket that's worth more than my bike. I don't believe it.
It will match my bike AND my eyes. Ha!!!!

I've got a rear wheel in that colour

It will match my FX. Well, not the colour, but you get my drift.
