New helmet

Only managed 20 mile in the saddle this week and none of it on Miranda, She's gathering dust in the garage until the weather changes or I buy some mudguards which was pretty much my plan anyway.
In the meantime the ever durable Muddy Fox Seeker Mega work horse soilders on.

On the plus side I did get myself a new road helmet in TK Maxx today bought it because it was very good quality but cheap. Usually I wear and swear by BELL Helmets but at £17 which is a full £70 off its 2008 selling price this was too good to turn down.
I had no choice in colour but got the traditional Liquigas green/blue colour way

 Here is what Wiggle has to say about it

Top Features of the Briko Arrow Helmet 07

The exact helmet that Liquigas rider Danilo Di Luca wore on his way to victory in this years 2007 Giro d'Italia. Briko's most aggressive helmet with superior features.

• Extemely aerodynamic design
• Carbon cage for ultimate lightness
• In moulding structure
• Ergonomic and washable interior
• Micrometric adjustable retention system
• The product is certified following European Bike Helmet standards
• Padding with different thickness to perfectly adjust to various head's shapes
• Incorporating Retention System 1: The roll-off pre-vention "Microblock System", which holds the helmet firmly on the head even during a fall, while eliminating dangerous helmet rotations that might leave vital parts of the head uncovered. To offer full protection, all the materials are subjected to rigorous tightness and extreme stress trials. The dimensional capacity of each helmet is tested to ensure that minimum points of coverage and an optimum angle of visibility are guaranteed. The In-Moulding tech is the process in fusing a PC shell to an internal EPS shell. By fusing the 2 shells, this kind of helmet is reinforced in crucial areas around vents, resulting in light, cool and tough helmets.
