The long wait is over. The Women's Snow Leopard winter cycle jersey and Men's Black Panther Bib Shorts have finally arrived...and they look awesome.

On location with the Fast Eddy, Fur Seals, and Firefly. A cold night...as you can see from the nose drips.

It has been difficult getting stock...and it's great to see the Jack Frost in production. Hopefully here next week. We've been riding in a sample one for a few months and it certainly deserves the name, easily fending off the cold and wind.

We've been busy designing new gear for winter. Our jackets are a dulled down version of our jerseys, so we don't go OTT with design flare on these. We put all our effort into the fabrics, which are heavy hitting, and amongst other things use wind-out to stop those cold southerlies. Just like the Frosty Boy this jacket is made for the harshest conditions.

We (like everyone else) are experiencing troubles getting the stock we need. We have six new lines halted in production (Men's bib shorts, Men's shorts, Women's Full length tights, Women's 3/4 Length, Women's Winter Jersey, Men's Winter Jacket). So if you need something now we suggest buying it out of what we stock currently. Waiting for new items is proving very time consuming.

Don't want the hassle of caring for a merino base layer, but still want all the warmth? The Firefly ticks all the boxes. We scoured the world for many months looking for someone to make our design a reality, we finally found someone with our ethos for making great functional products.

We've been busy sorting our stock and gear for winter. We've redesigned our Sharks and Windbreaker pants into his and hers Furseal Winter Cycle Pants. These are made for true winter riding, fleece lined with a solid lycra outer. We've ridden these down to 0 degrees, no problem. Don't be left out in the cold this winter.

80km's shortened, to 72kms's after high winds stopped the descent from the top of Tukino ski field...thankfully.

New styles...new rides...holidays...it's all been happening!

Grueling. Mother nature threw everything at us....

A true mix of pain and pleasure. Six day stage racing in NZ's "summer" was never going to be easy.

Six day stage race
Teams of two
433kms of riding
12,540m of climbing
Sunday 1 December to Friday 6 December 2019

Throw in 5 degree days, snow, 3 two person teams, and some big hills/km's and you get a lot of character building...and type two fun.
