Booked a trip with Ciclo Montana 3 months ago, we fly out at 6am on Saturday morning. Just had a phone call from my mate "Can you come shopping with me tomorrow night as i've got no kit?"

😯 So, let me get this straight, after booking a cycling holiday 3 BLOODY MONTHS AGO you've decided to wait til there is only 48hrs to go before buying helmet/pads/shorts/tops/fleece/rain jacket etc?

Looks like i'd better take a lot of toilet roll 'cos i'm gonna be wiping his bloody arse all week!

Buy stuff there - it may be cheaper?

Make him cycle in casual gear!

He may not be your friend at the end of the holiday though.

I was there last week.
I took loads of kit but never needed it.

I used
1 pair shorts - post ride swim then hang to dry overnight 🙂
1 pair gloves
5 socks
5 t shirts
Body armour - for the steroid enhanced thorns mostly.

Took a windproof but never used it.

There's one of these 'mates' in every riding group but why stress over it? - it's his problem he's only just pulled his finger out his arse. 😆

Take him to Aldi and take the piss out of him relentlessly on holiday
😆

Rain jacket? Save your coins for the bar at the top of the hill.
