One of the more unpleasant aspects of my 2008 End-to-End ride was suffering with painfully cold hands and feet whenever the weather turned nasty. This time, however, this shouldn't be a problem for any of us thanks to the generosity of BreezeBlockers Ltd who are providing each member of the team with two of their innovative products for keeping warm on a bike.
In brief, the first of these products is a pair of extremely lightweight cowls, which attach to the tops of the handle bars into which the hands are placed. Here, out of the wind, the interior of the pod creates a warm micro climate around the hands. We are looking forward to being able to quickly fix them to our bikes whenever there is a likelihood of our running into wintery conditions (and trust me, "wintery" can and does happen in June/July in some of the areas we shall be going through.) The second item is a sheath, which fits over the toes of cycling shoes and, likewise, protects against the cold and adverse conditions generally.

We have also been provided with a supply of toiletries which do not need water to be effective. Having the facility to clean or just freshen up at any time or place will, I am sure, prove its worth. The company making this possible is Waterless Ltd
