After my accident at the railway, I had to buy a new helmet, a new bottle and fix my 2 times used jacket. With the Sales I pay only 50% of the usual price for the new helmet. This occasion reduced my costs. ;-)
At that time I also bought a "thermal"-bottle but it isn't a really thermos bottle. This is my first one and the idea for such bottles cames around the Rapha Festive500 challenge. I just misses some tepic fluid during this cold and wet rides.
Few days after the crash, Christian send me a friendly email to purchase a new winter jacket for 99€. A really nice offer for a Mavic Inferno and I couldn't resist to order it.
